In visual c++ it compiles and works but in devc++ it gives this output

29 C:\Dev-Cpp\pro\ders\main.cpp expected primary-expression before "char" 
29 C:\Dev-Cpp\pro\ders\main.cpp expected `;' before "char"

Primary expressions - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/z94za21a%28VS.80%29.aspx

Your error lines don't match up to your particular code segment (check - line 87 where largest line in your code is 63), so next time would be good to make sure they match.

not can be a reserved keyword in some compilers, so that may be the problem.

Also, don't use == with floating ponits. It will often produce "incorrect" results.

Remembrer floating points are an approximation, not the exact value. So 1.5 doesn't necessarily equal 1.5.
