illegal else without matching if

# include <iostream>

cout<<"Pedicure P 60.00: ";cin>>Y;
else if(pc=='Y'){
tot=pc+tot;cin>>pc;}

else {
cout<<"Aborted";
}
return 0;
}

what seems to be wrong???

You are using else in the wrong context, I've re-arranged your code slightly to explain....

cout<<"HairCut P 50.00: ";cin>>Y;
if (hc=='Y')
{
   tot=hc+tot;cin>>tot;
}

cout<<"HotOil P 150.00: ";cin>>Y;

else if(ho=='Y')
{
   tot=ho+tot;cin>>ho;
}

The else on line 9 is illegal because you have already closed the if code block and the code on line 7 separates the if from the else. It has to be something like this

cout<<"HairCut P 50.00: ";cin>>Y;
if (hc=='Y')
{
   tot=hc+tot;cin>>tot;
//}

   cout<<"HotOil P 150.00: ";cin>>Y;
}
else if(ho=='Y')
{
   tot=ho+tot;cin>>ho;
}

with no code between the if closing brace and the else

You can't delete once the post has been replied to but otherwise click the delete button when you're logged in.

Remove the 'else' keyword, is doesn't look like you need them.
