Tuition Program-NEED HELP!

[Benjamin Ascencio]

Hi everyone, well i need help. I've never done any programming ever and well i need help to finish an assignment. Here are the requirments for this code:
Assignment:
The charges for college tuition are $75 per credit hour or $950 per semester if full-time (12 or more credit hours). In addition, a student who is majoring in computer science (major code ‘C’) is assessed a $25 per semester laboratory fee; those majoring in other laboratory sciences (major code ‘O’) pay a $35 fee. Other majors, each with a unique major code, pay no laboratory fee. Out-of-state students are assessed an additional fee of 20% of base tuition charge only. There is also, a $15 registration fee for everyone.
For example, a student who is designated in-state, is carrying 15 credits, and is majoring in biology (major code ‘O’) will be charged $1000 for tuition: $950 for full-time status, $35 laboratory fee, and $15 registration fee.
A student taking 10 credits who has out-of-state status and is a computer science major (major code ‘C’) will be charged $940, which is $750 based on 10 credits at $75 per credit hour, $150 out-of-state fee (20% of $750) plus a $25 laboratory fee and $15 registration fee.
1. Develop an algorithm (using a flowchart) to compute the cost of attending college given the following inputs:
a) number of credit hours
b) Major Code
‘C’ or ‘c’ - computer science major
‘O’ or ‘o’ - other laboratory sciences
anything else - other majors
c) Residency status
1 – In State
2 – Out of State

Here is my program so far, it might need some work, any advice would be appreciated.
#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip.h>

using namespace std;

void main()
{
// declare constants
const double FULL_TIME_RATE = 950; // fulltime student = $950
const double MAJOR_CODE_C_RATE = 25; // computer science major = $25
const double MAJOR_CODE_O_RATE = 35; // laboratory science major = $35
const double REG_FEE = 15; // registration fee for every student = $15
const double OUT_STATE_CHARGE = 0.20; // out of state charge = 20%
const double IN_STATE = 0; // In_state charge = 0
const double CREDIT_PRICE = 75; // per credit hour = 75

// Variable
double credit_hour; //credit hours taken
char major_code; // 'C' computer scienc or 'O' laboratory science
char residency; // '1' in state or '2' out of state

// Calculation Variable
double lab_fee;
double residency_fee;
double registration_fee;
double extra_charge;

// Output Variable
double tuition_cost;

cout << "Please enter your credit hours: ";
cin >> credit_hour;

cout << "Enter major code ('C' - computer science or 'L' - Lab. science): ";
cin >> major_code;

cout << "Please enter your residency ('1' - In State or '2' - Out of state) ";
cin >> residency;

if (major_code == 'C' || major_code == 'c')
{
lab_fee = MAJOR_CODE_C_RATE;
registration_fee = REG_FEE;
}
else
{
lab_fee = MAJOR_CODE_O_RATE;
registration_fee = REG_FEE;
}

if (residency == '2')
{
residency_fee = OUT_STATE_CHARGE;
}
else
{
residency_fee = IN_STATE;
}

//calculate
if ( credit_hour < 12 )
{
credit_hour * CREDIT_PRICE;
}
else
{
FULL_TIME_RATE;
}

//calculate total tuition
credit_hour + lab_fee + residency_fee + registration_fee * OUT_STATE_CHARGE;

//Output
cout.setf(ios::fixed, ios::floatfield);
cout.setf(ios::showpoint);
cout << endl << endl << setprecision(2) //set decimal point
cout << "Tuition cost: $" << endl << endl;

system("pause");
}

Everytime i go to compile this code it gives me an error, im missing a semi colon. can anyone help

[firedraco]

Use [code][/code] tags.
Copy+paste the error from your compiler.

The semicolon problem is on line 76. See it?

#include <iostream>

	else
	{

	//calculate

	cout << endl << endl << setprecision(2) //set decimal point

}

You may also wish to look at 63, 67, and 71. You are doing some calculations, but not storing the result anywhere.

And if it says you're missing a semicolon, you should probably just go to the line the error points you to and put a semicolon there. It IS possible that this is not the actual error, but in most cases it is.

[Benjamin Ascencio]

well for line 71 i had the output calculation as: tuition_cost=credit_hour + lab_fee + residency_fee + registration_fee * OUT_STATE_CHARGE;

and it giving me an error, tution_cost held no value in my statement.

[Benjamin Ascencio]

Error E2379 C:\Users\Ben\Desktop\New Borland\college3.cpp 80: Statement missing ; in function main()
Warning W8004 C:\Users\Ben\Desktop\New Borland\college3.cpp 83: 'tuition_cost' is assigned a value that is never used in function main()
*** 1 errors in Compile ***

Tool completed with exit code 1

This is the error i get.

[JMJAtlanta]

Notice that if you read the error, it says that in file "college3.cpp", on line 80, you are missing a semicolon.

There is also a warning. Warnings will allow the program to compile, but indicate you may have a problem running it. The warning says that on line 83, you assign a value to "tuition_cost", but then never use it anywhere.
