Hi im quite a programming noob :) could anyone tell me why this for loop is asking for another semi-colon? Just say if yous need more code :)

string ChooseCategorySelectRandomWord(){
int userChoice = 0;
cout << "Please choose a catagory" << endl << "1.Sports" << endl << "2.Food" << endl << "3.Countries" << endl << "4.Movies" << endl << "5.Games" << endl; // This asks and displays options for the user
cin >> userChoice;

if( between(userChoice, 1, 5) ){
string filename = wordFiles[userChoice-1];

ifstream in (filename);
string wordToGuess;


srand ( time(NULL) );
int r = rand() %20;

do
in>> stringToGuess;
while ( --r >= 0 );

cout << stringToGuess << endl;

return stringToGuess;
} else {
for (!between(userChoice, 1, 5)) {
cout << " Enter A Number Between 1 And 5" << endl;
userChoice = 0;
cin >> userChoice;

for (!between(userChoice, 1, 5)) the second bracket has an error message saying expected a ;

The do-while loop?

Alright the syntax for do-while loops looks like this

do
{

// Do Some Stuff

}while(expression);

You may want to look over the do while loop you have. Your missing brackets. If you put that in, I think it should fix your error.

cheers i added that but it is still saying expecting ; and nah the for.

Thats all my code xD its for a game of hangman.
