I keep getting this errror message: error: expected unqualified-id before 'switch'
Hi!
I wanted to create a programm with the switch function in it, so i made a code, where you can type the date and you get a nice sentence like i whish you a happy day or something like that, but i keep getting that message.
Here is the code, i really hope you can help me with it!
Thanks.
#include <cstdio>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
switch(choice)
{
float choice;
cout << "Geben sie das heutige Datum ein: ";
cout << "Beispiel: 9.1, 14.1, 16.1, 21.1:";
cin >> choice;
case c9.1:
cout << "Ich wünsche dir, dass du arbeitest als würdest du das Geld nicht brauchen";
break;
case c14.1:
cout << "Ich wünsche dir, dass du tanzt als würde keiner hinschauen.";
break;
case c16.1:
cout << "Ich wünsche dir, dass du singst als würde keiner zuhören";
break;
case c21.1:
cout << "Ich wünsche dir, dass du lebst als wäre das Paradies auf Erden";
break;
default:
cout << "Sie haben das Datum nicht korrekt eingegeben.\n";
break;
system("PAUSE");
return 0;
}

Hey Ichmagkekse,
firstly, wrap your code in
[.code]
[./code]
tags(without '.', I used it so it doesn't run in my post :) )
Your switch case isn't included in any function(either main or other). Try to fix that!

Even if there was, you should have either
Don't do "void main()".
Also, you switch(case) statement won't work, since you have
you should remove c, so it looks like this:
Cheers!
int main() or int main(int argc, char* args[]), or something like that(char**, for example).Don't do "void main()".

Thank you very much for your responses, but I I have another question: why do you declare choice as int? As far as I know the pc puts the 9.1 as. 9 comma 1 so don't you have to declare it as float? If I am completly wrong please tell me.
The problem is, that your code makes completely no sense. It's some part of some function, that is taken completely out of context. However, that's not this bad - you're only beginner.
First off, you have to declare a variable before you use it.
So your code should look something like this:
[code]
#include <iostream>
using std::cout;
using std::cin;
//Main must return int
int main(int argc, char* args[] )
{
//We declare choice before we use it
int choice;
//We ask for choice value before we process it
cout << "Geben sie das heutige Datum ein: ";
cout << "Beispiel: 9.1, 14.1, 16.1, 21.1:";
cin >> choice;
//Switch(case) is not a loop! It will be executed only once!
switch(choice)
{
case 9:
//something
break;
//and so on...
};
return 0;
}
The problem is, switch(case) may only use integral types - check this page for more information:

Thank you so much, now does it work! It was the second code i tried to write, the first one was so simple, that it didn`t really deserves the name `code`;)
