I am having alot of difficulty with my program, and no clue to where to go from here to fix it. Everything I try brings more errors.

These are simple syntax errors, no worry. Try posting your code inside the <> brackets so we can refer to the line numbers.

Basically, you are missing semicolons on the end of several statement and you need to keep in mind that any predicate (if, else if, while, for, etc) that has more than one statement after it needs brackets or else only the statement directly after it belongs to it.

if (x = 3)
   x = 4;    // belongs to the if statement
   y = 5;   // does not belong to the if statement unless you provide brackets


if (x = 3)
{
   x = 4;    // belongs to the if statement
   y = 5     // also belongs to the if statement because of the brackets
}

simple syntax errors no worries just remember your ";" and "{}" and you should be fine, the program seems unfinished make sure you check you code and write comments so we know what your doing ; cause so far i have no clue. ***the above code is The fix version for the syntax only, check your code along with this to see what you missed***

The "return (0)" on line 79 is kind of unnecessary though right?

Actually that whole structure is unnerving. The main function's return shouldn't be inside an if statement unless it is in an if else that determines whether the program succeeds or not. Even then you can always return a variable as your last return that smooths it out.

Barrington, since you were kind enough to quickly edit TS' code hopefully you might take the time to fully correct it.

It WOrks! Thank you for the suggestions!

I still dont know how to incorporate number line properly, please help.

There is a button on the right side of your text window that looks like <>. All it does in insert the tags [.code][./code] without the periods inside them. (I have to add the periods otherwise you can't see them.

Put you source code in between the tags.
