expected Unqualified-Id before switch

[adrianooo231]

Hi i am a beginner at C++ ( i started yesterday) I am writing a program that translates date form format dd/mm to It is the <day> of <Month>

When i build the program i get error : expected Unqualified-Id before switch

also if someone could tell me how to loop the program so the user can do as many translations as he wants before closing the program

Here is the source code (W.I.P)

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdio>
#include <cstdlib>

using namespace std;
int main(int nNumberofArgs, char* pszArgs[])
{
int nMonth;
cout << "Please Enter the day and Month";
cin >> nMonth;
}

switch (nMonth)

{
    case 1/1:
    cout << "Its the first of January" << end1;
    break;
    case 2/1:
    cout << "Its the second of January" << end1;
    break;
    default:
    caut   << " The date you entered is not valid"
            << " Restart and try again"
         << "Remember the format must be dd/mm"



system ("pause");
return 0;
}

1. Line 11, delete that }. That is saying "end the main function" which is not what you want to do.
2. Line 23, caut isn't a function :P
3. Line 26 needs a } to end the switch statement.

Thanks now my code looks like that

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdio>
#include <cstdlib>

using namespace std;
int main(int nNumberofArgs, char* pszArgs[])
{
int nMonth;
cout << "Please Enter the day and Month";
cin >> nMonth;


switch (nMonth)

{
    case 1/1:
    cout << "Its the first of January" << end1;
    break;
    case 2/1:
    cout << "Its the second of January" << end1;
    break;
    default:
    cout    << "This is not valid input"
            << " Restart and try again"
         << "Remember the format must be dd/mm" <<end1;
}


system ("pause");
return 0;
}

But i get get fallowing error at line 17

error: 'end1' was not declared in this scope|
||=== Build finished: 1 errors, 0 warnings ===|

It isn't "end1" it is "endl". It stands for end line. Didn't see it in the first post :P
