new to c++, have an error i cannot figure out?

smh (5)
alrite i just started learning c++ 3 days ago and i decided to see what i cud put together with the knowledge ive gained so far. so i made a game, nothing complex by any means, but its a guessing game, i didnt come up with the idea, i just wanted to see if i cud figure out how to do it. so i entered in a code fixed all the errors i could. got all the errors fixed except for the last 1, which i cannot seem to find the problem?
here is the code


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

int main (void);
{
int iUser;
int iGuess = 0;
int iGuesses = 0;
int iNumber = 0;

srand(static_cast<unsigned int>(time(0) ) );
iNumber = rand()%1000+1;
cout << "Enter your name: " << endl;
cin >> iUser
cout << iUser << " Enter a number 1-1000" << endl << endl;
cin >> iGuess
if
{
(iGuess > || < iNumber)
cout << "You got it!!!"
iGuesses ++;
cout << "The number is: " << iNumber
<< endl;
cout << "You took " << iGuesses
<< endl;
}
if
{
(iGuess > iNumber)
cout << "Too high!!!" << endl;
cin >> iGuess
}
if
{
(iGuess < iNumber)
cout << "Too low!!!" << endl;
cin >> iGuess
}
system("PAUSE")
return 0;
}


the error is on line six with the opening curly bracket.
it says "line 6 - expected unqualified-id before '{' token",
and "line 6 - expected ',' or ';' before '{' token"
i dont know if this is just a stupid mistake and im just missing something but ive been over it 100 times and cant seem to find a problem with that bracket or anything else?
any help would be greatly appreciated
thnx

remove the ; from int main (void);

This is a double post of a thread, there's another (almost identical) one in the Beginners' forum (with very verbose answers :)

Maybe this one should be deleted?
