error: expected identifier or '(' before 'else'
I wrote a basic c program with if and else if statements to calculate a hotel bill but I keep getting the same error.
long.c:97:8: error: expected identifier or '(' before 'else'
else if(room == 3)
^~~~
long.c:133:2: error: expected identifier or '(' before 'else'
else
^~~~
long.c:136:9: error: expected identifier or '(' before 'return'
return 0;
^~~~~~
long.c:137:1: error: expected identifier or '(' before '}' tokenThe program has been attached,
Code:
#include<stdio.h> int main(void) { //declaring variables float total; char card, accbasis; int room, days; //printing statements to get inputs printf("Enter type of room:\n"); scanf("%d", &room); printf("Enter accomodation basis:\n"); scanf("%c ", &accbasis); printf("Enter card type:\n"); scanf("%c ", &card); printf("Enter number of days:\n"); scanf("%d", &days); //conditions if(room == 1) { if(accbasis == 'F') { if(card == 'G') total = 25555.00 * days - 25555.00 * 12.5; else if(card == 'S') total = 25555.00 * days - 25555.00 * 11.5; else if(card =='B') total = 25555.00 * days - 25555.00 * 9.5; else { printf("Invalid card type."); printf("The total is %.2f", total); } } else if(accbasis == 'H') { if(card == 'G') total = 17250.00 * days - 17250.00 * 12.5; else if(card == 'S') total = 17250.00 * days - 17250.00 * 11.5; else if(card == 'B') total = 17250.00 * days - 17250.00 * 9.5; else { printf("Invalid card type."); printf("The total is %.2f" , total); } } else printf("Invalid accomodation basis."); } else if(room == 2) { if(accbasis == 'F') { if(card == 'G') total = 17500.00 * days - 17500.00 * 12.5; else if(card == 'S') total = 17500.00 * days - 17500.00 * 11.5; else if(card == 'B') total = 17500.00 * days - 17500.00 * 9.5; else { printf("Invalid card type."); printf("The total is %.2f", total); } } } else if(accbasis == 'H') { if(card == 'G') total = 12250.00 * days - 12250.00 * 12.5; else if(card == 'S') total = 12250.00 * days - 12250.00 * 11.5; else if(card == 'B') total = 12250.00 * days - 12250.00 * 9.5; else { printf("Invalid card type"); printf("The total is %.2f", total); } } else printf("Invalid accomodation basis"); } else if(room == 3) { if(accbasis == 'F') { if(card == 'G') total = 9000.00 * days - 9000.00 * 12.5; else if(card == 'S') total = 9000.00 * days - 9000.00 * 11.5; else if(card == 'B') total = 9000.00 * days - 9000.00 * 9.5; else { printf("Invalid card type."); printf("The total is %.2f", total); } } else if(accbasis == 'H') { if(card == 'G') total = 7250.00 * days - 7250.00 * 12.5; else if(card =='S') total = 7250.00 * days - 7250.00 * 11.5; else if(card == 'B') total = 7250.00 * days - 7250.00 * 9.5; else { printf("Invalid card type."); printf("The total is %.2f", total); } } } else printf("Invalid room type"); return 0; }Last edited by Salem; 03-24-2018 at 06:09 AM.

For some reason I cannot seem to download the file you uploaded. I suggest that you post, in [code][/code] bbcode tags, the smallest and simplest version of your program that you expect should compile but which demonstrates this error.

Most have more sense than to send me hundreds of lines of code. If they do, I ask them to find the smallest example that exhibits the problem and send me that. Mostly, they then find the error themselves. "Finding the smallest program that demonstrates the error" is a powerful debugging tool.

and the hat of int overfl
Well the basic reason is because your crappy indentation means you've no idea which braces match up.
You have too many closing braces.
The one on line 96 matches the start of main.
So everything after that is bad code.
Code:
#include<stdio.h> int main(void) { //declaring variables float total; char card, accbasis; int room, days; //printing statements to get inputs printf("Enter type of room:\n"); scanf("%d", &room); printf("Enter accomodation basis:\n"); scanf("%c ", &accbasis); printf("Enter card type:\n"); scanf("%c ", &card); printf("Enter number of days:\n"); scanf("%d", &days); //conditions if (room == 1) { if (accbasis == 'F') { if (card == 'G') total = 25555.00 * days - 25555.00 * 12.5; else if (card == 'S') total = 25555.00 * days - 25555.00 * 11.5; else if (card == 'B') total = 25555.00 * days - 25555.00 * 9.5; else { printf("Invalid card type."); printf("The total is %.2f", total); } } else if (accbasis == 'H') { if (card == 'G') total = 17250.00 * days - 17250.00 * 12.5; else if (card == 'S') total = 17250.00 * days - 17250.00 * 11.5; else if (card == 'B') total = 17250.00 * days - 17250.00 * 9.5; else { printf("Invalid card type."); printf("The total is %.2f", total); } } else printf("Invalid accomodation basis."); } else if (room == 2) { if (accbasis == 'F') { if (card == 'G') total = 17500.00 * days - 17500.00 * 12.5; else if (card == 'S') total = 17500.00 * days - 17500.00 * 11.5; else if (card == 'B') total = 17500.00 * days - 17500.00 * 9.5; else { printf("Invalid card type."); printf("The total is %.2f", total); } } /*!! this is your actual bad brace } */ else if (accbasis == 'H') { if (card == 'G') total = 12250.00 * days - 12250.00 * 12.5; else if (card == 'S') total = 12250.00 * days - 12250.00 * 11.5; else if (card == 'B') total = 12250.00 * days - 12250.00 * 9.5; else { printf("Invalid card type"); printf("The total is %.2f", total); } } else printf("Invalid accomodation basis"); } else if (room == 3) { if (accbasis == 'F') { if (card == 'G') total = 9000.00 * days - 9000.00 * 12.5; else if (card == 'S') total = 9000.00 * days - 9000.00 * 11.5; else if (card == 'B') total = 9000.00 * days - 9000.00 * 9.5; else { printf("Invalid card type."); printf("The total is %.2f", total); } } else if (accbasis == 'H') { if (card == 'G') total = 7250.00 * days - 7250.00 * 12.5; else if (card == 'S') total = 7250.00 * days - 7250.00 * 11.5; else if (card == 'B') total = 7250.00 * days - 7250.00 * 9.5; else { printf("Invalid card type."); printf("The total is %.2f", total); } } } else printf("Invalid room type"); return 0; }

Code editors can reformat your code with good indentation (except for nested ifs in Python, but not a problem in C or other languages with braces.) Also, on GNU systems there is a stand alone indent program for C called indent, but it is probably harder to configure to your preferred style than your editor is (and indents default style is weird.)

In Code::Blocks IDE you can select some code, right click, Format use AStyle. Originally Posted by christophergray
