Guessing game help?

this is the assignment I need some help with.I have posted what i have written so far for this assignment and am not sure what steps to take next, or if i have properly coded so far.

I'm trying to get my program to work but it won't compile i keep getting these errors below. when I try to build a solution. Can someone help me to fix these errors? I know that it is probably something simple, however after a few hours I have run out of ideas.

The guidelines for the assignment can be found here: http://pastebin.com/WbJZnT4h

the piece of code that is giving me the error is:

(53): error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before 'type'
(64): error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before 'type'
(96): error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before '||'
(99): C2181: illegal else without matching if
(102): error C2059: syntax error : 'type'

all error is in bold

line 72 what is the convert supposed to be doing? Are you trying to cast? If so remove the convert and it should work fine. Assuming you are turning an ascii int to a character.

line 91 does nothing. It checks if that is true or false if it is true it does nothing if it is false it does nothing.

Also in your last function ( starting on line 76 ) I believe you are missing a closing brace. It is really hard to tell though since your indentation is completely off.

Yep you're definitely missing a closing brace.

Lines 5 and 6.
