Getting an Error Message

[Diana Magers]

Not sure why I am getting an error message with this code. Could someone please point me in the right direction?

error messages: 1 IntelliSense: this declaration has no storage class or type specifier
2 IntelliSense: expected a declaration
3 IntelliSense: this declaration has no storage class or type specifier
4 IntelliSense: expected a declaration
5 IntelliSense: expected a declaration

#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
using namespace std;

int main()

	//Variables
	char code = ' ';

// Enter Input
cout << "Is this item available";
cin >> 

if (toupper (code) = 'X')
	cout << "Discontinued" << endl;
else
{ 
	cout << "Available" << endl;
	cout << "The item will be shipped ASAP" << endl;
	return(0);
} // end if

cin >>

cin to what? You have to have a variable on the right to store the input in.

Ok that was my over sight.

Here is the errors I am getting now.

Error 1 error C2106: '=' : left operand must be l-value
In the if statement.

Also
2 IntelliSense: expression must be a modifiable l-value
In the if statement

toupper (code) == 'X'

@Diana Magers

Try changing this if (toupper (code) = 'X') to this, if (toupper (code) == 'X') and see if that helps. A single equal sign, assigns a value, while a double equals, checks the value. Think of it as "If(uppercase (code) IS EQUAL TO 'X') then do this or that."
