Hello all i get an error in cygwin @ line 61 "error expected ";" before "income_tax". I have no idea what the problem is and im fairly new to c++ and coding in general. This is a homework assignment in my structured programing class to fig error in some code. Any Help would be appreciated.
//*
//* This program takes in the salary of the employee from standard input.
//* It then deducts the income tax from the salary on the following basis :
//* 30% income tax if the salary is above $15000.
//* 20% income tax if the salary is between $7000 and $15000.
//* 10% income tax if the salary is below $7000.
//* The salary, income tax and the net salary is then outputted to standard output.
