"expected primary-expression before "else" ???

im working on a program used for storing info (email, passcodes). it would keep the info safe useing "If" (code != 1098765432) display "Denied" then ues a nother "if" for comands to breing up surtan lists (the code explanes it...). im new to programing and im haveing some problems, the main is that on line 21. it says 21.
"expected primary-expression before "else" "
being new to C++ i donot know what to do. plz help, hears the code and you can copy it for your use if you want, just if you could tell me the problem and how to fix it.

P.S. if you see eany thing else wrong, plz tell me.

im useing Dev-C++, if its eany help, thanks!

Just copy paste the portion of the code where the error is

oooo my bad the code right, hear line 21.

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
int pass;

cout<<"Please Input Correct Pass Code: ";
cin>> pass;
cin.ignore();
if ( pass != 1098765432 ) {
cout<<"DENIED";
}

else {
cout<<"DENIED";
}
cin.get();

else if ( pass == 1098765432 )
{
cout<<"Press Enter To Continue";
}
cin.get();
{
cout<<"Data Storage, press 1 for email addresses, 2 for numbers, 3 for Pass Codes";
cin.get();

int Command;

if ( Command < 2 ) {
cout<<"";
}
else if ( Command == 2 ) {
cout<<"";
}
else if ( Command > 2 ) {
cout<<"";
}
cin.get();
}
}

Use tags -

if - else if - else statements go like this

Code:

---

if ( something )
{
 // do this
}
else if ( something else )
{
  // do this instead
}
else if ...
{
  // do other things
}
else
{
  // last possibility.
}

---

they can't go

Code:

---

if ( something )
{
  // do this
}
else
{
  // blah
}
cin.get(); <- ERROR HERE *
else if ( blah )
{
// error
}

---

* this errors it 'cause there can't be anything between the if else statements.

Also, if you have an if - else if - else - else if (I don't know, you may get a warning), the last else if won't ever occur. I suspece you should change the else if in your code, the error line to a plane old if

EDIT - You're new, so to use CODE TAGS, select your code, and click the button that says 'CODE TAGS'.

First of all, use code tags (see the sticky on this board). Now, think about your logic here:

Code:

---

if ( pass != 1098765432 ) {
cout<<"DENIED";
}

else {
cout<<"DENIED";
}

---

Here you check if the pass is incorrect. If so, you output "DENIED". If not (else) you output "DENIED". That's obviously not what you want.

And listen to what twomers said.

I was going to wait to see if he noticed. The best thing to do, I think, is to check if the password is right, then deal with that happy instance. THen have an else to deal with the hackers or whatever.
>> And listen to what twomers said. - thanks
I'd do something more like:

Code:

---

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

int main( void )
{
        string pass;

        cout<< "Enter pass: ";
        cin >> pass;

        if ( pass == "42" )
        {
                // do whatever
        }
        else
        {
                cout<< "DENIED!";
        }

        return 0;
}

---

I changed the int pass to a string, against the possibility that the variable (student number?), would be too large a number for an integer variable. Possibly needed, possibly not.

thank you all, i can go on saying how helpfull this is!! :)
