giving a semicolon error

alexhairyman (2)
okay, I have searched through my code, and I have absolutely no Idea why this is telling me that it needs a semicolon, or a comma before token {

it throws this error upon compilation

/home/alex/Projects/cppt/src/cppt1.cpp|27|error: expected ‘,’ or ‘;’ before ‘{’ token|
||=== Build finished: 1 errors, 0 warnings ===|


in this code

I have no Idea why this will not compile.

If statements don't need a break.

int anmi;
int isvalidmemi (anmi)


The following works just fine.
 
 
int isvalidmemi (int anmi)


However you seem to be putting a string into a int with isvalidmemi

Missing ; on line 27


You're also declaring this twice for no reason inside main

I have no Idea why this will not compile.

read this: http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/functions/

line 26&61: wrong way to write function definition (the explanation is in the link)
line 29/34/39 etc. : comparison of two different types
line 56&67&71&etc: missing semicolon ';' - we need one after each statements
line 58: calling a function without a declaration

Thank you So much, compiling fine now!!
sorry about my terrible formatting, I was trying all sorts of different things to get it to work, and in the end, I probably just screwed myself over with all the unnecessary code!
