I don't see why its yelling at me, maybe u will.

Heres the error from the compiler:

--------------------Configuration: CheckBook2 - Win32 Debug--------------------
Compiling...
CheckBook2.cpp
c:\program files\microsoft visual studio\myprojects\checkbook2\checkbook2.cpp(64) : fatal error C1010: unexpected end of file while looking for precompiled header directive
Error executing cl.exe.

CheckBook2.obj - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)

and heres the program....

	This program is same as checkbook but converts all input of transtype to be a capital letter.

#include <iomanip.h>

#include <ctype.h>

int main ()

	cin >>startingbalance;

	toupper (transtype);

	cout <<"Enter the transaction amount and press <enter>: ";

	cin >>transamount;

	//Module for performing calculations

	{
	if (transtype == 'D')
		endingbalance = startingbalance + transamount;
	else if (transtype == 'W')
		endingbalance = startingbalance - transamount;
	else

	}

	//Module for displaying results

		cout <<endl;

		cout <<"Starting Balance $"<<startingbalance<<endl;

		cout <<"Ending Balance $"<<endingbalance<<endl;

	return 0;
}

look at this part:

{
	if (transtype == 'D')
		endingbalance = startingbalance + transamount;
	else if (transtype == 'W')
		endingbalance = startingbalance - transamount;
	else
		cout <<"You enterd an invalid transaction type."<<endl;
		continue;
	}

you have brackets wrapped around the outside of you if statement. also look at how your if - else if - else statement is written.

Also to add....you cant use a continue statment without some sort of loop block....

Where would it actually continue after that call?

[Eibro]

Put #include "stdafx.h" before all your other includes.

the stdafx.h was a big problem the compiler wanted it removed so i did.

Also the error comes up with/wo those curl braces on the if.

i'm new to the conyinue i added a while(1) but it didn't fix it.
