Unexpected Token Error

May 11, 2012 at 11:48pm

Normally I do fairly well when setting up a start-up menu, but every since I starting incorporating functions into my program as requested I have been having Unexpected Token and Unable to resolve identifier errors. I am currently using NetBeans 7.1.1 to do my c++ projects. In the past when I get unexpected token errors it was usually due to a misplaced or missing curly bracket or semicolon. However this time I am unable to find the problem. In addition I will leave all the cases empty except for the first one, since I it has been causing errors to all of my programs. Therefore can someone please help me fix these errors?

Edit & run on cpp.sh


This is the report that I would receive after running the program. The program works fine on its own but once inserted in to the switch statement for to be part of the menu, I doesn't run correctly anymore.

Without regard to what your program is supposed to do:

1. You have defined two main functions. The first starts on line 26 and the second is embedded in case 1 of the switch statement on line 49. There can only be one main function.

2. On line 48 you have a prototype for the function calculateRetail() and then later in what still appears to be case 1 of the switch statement you define the function on line 74. You cannot prototype or define a function inside of another function that way. Move the prototype on line 48 up before the start of main, say to line 25, and move the function definition on line 74 to the very end after the end of main on line 151.

As a start, fix those two problems and see what happens.
