Syntax error evades me!

[niski]

Write your question here.

Hey guys, I've recently started learning c++ and all was running really smooth and I've decided I'd like to make a program using switch statements and such, unfortunately for the life of me I can't find where I'm getting a syntax error in my code, I've tried properly indenting my work, and I've had a couple friends look at it, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you <3 the error is on line 64 btw :)

  #include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>


int main()

{

int menu();

printf("\n To commence our program please press the enter key to continue...");
getchar();

system("CLS");

void mainmenu();

char selection;
int menu1;
int number;

{
        printf("\n******************************************************");
        printf("\n******************************************************");
        printf("\n**         Hello and welcome to my program!         **");
        printf("\n** Please select the program you would like to run! **");
        printf("\n******************************************************");
        printf("\n**                 - 1. Multiplication table        **");
        printf("\n**                 - 2. Program B  -                **");
        printf("\n**                 - 3. Program C  -                **");
        printf("\n**                 - 4. Program D  -                **");
        printf("\n**                 - 5. Exit       -                **");
        printf("\n******************************************************");
        printf("\n******************************************************");
        printf("\n ");
        scanf("%d", &selection);
        system("CLS");

        switch (selection)

        {

         case 1:
         do
         {
         int i, j;

         printf ("   |");
                for (i = 1; i <= 10; ++i)
                    printf ("%#3d   ", i);
                printf ("\n");
                for (i = 1; i < 64; ++i)
                    printf ("-");
                printf ("\n");

                for (i = 1; i <= 10; ++i) {
                    printf ("%#2d |", i);
                    for (j = 1; j <= 10; ++j)
                        printf ("%#3d   ", i * j);
                    printf ("\n");
         }
         break;

        }
}

Hiya,
Well firstly, lines 7 to 20 is a bit mental. The structure of your code should look like this:

// hash includes

// function declarations


int main()
{
...
...
...

return 0;
}

but for some reason you have your main() declaration, and then your function decs inside this and then you randomly put a opening brace on line 22. If you sort this out i'm sure your error will go away.

edit:
I think you need to read this:
http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/functions/
to differentiate between when and where you define functions and when and where you call those functions.

I have sorted out odd parenthesis on line 22. Line 64 still gives me a syntax error, I've added the return 0; as well as shifted my declarations where they should be, however the syntax error is now before the return. I'm horridly confused sorry D:

[mutexe]

Have you read that link I posted?
Do you now have function declarations before your main(), and are you now calling those functions inside your main function?

[niski]

Oh, I'm really sorry it's 12am here I'm getting kind of tired, I must've missed it I'm giving it a quick read as we speak but yeah, my decs are now above int main(), now I need to figure out where I should be calling them. Sorry.. LOL

i don't know C at all, but in c++ do(loop) command comes with while. if this was a c++ program, at line 64, i would have to add while condition. though in this case, you don't seem to need loop of any sort. try deleting line 44,45 and 64. did it work?

[niski]

Well guys, I ended up rewriting the entire program, cleaning it up as Mutexe pointed at and for some reason it all compiles now with no errors or anything, so thanks guys. I really mean it, you've been a huge help :D Tomorrow I will figure out a way to clear the screen once a key has been pressed after it's done printing the table and bring up the main menu again :D

As koopey points out, it might be worth mentioning that if you are wanting to learn C++ it would be better to use C++ constructs/keywords for input and output:
http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/basic_io/
and to inlude the corresponding header:

#include<iostream>
