Else error. Expected a statement

[andigirlsc]

The else statement for "the customer does not have a discount coupon is underlined as incorrect. There is a missing or extra brace somewhere, but I can't find it. Also, keep in my that my program is unfinished.

You have else statements without the if statements to accompany them. Try else if statements.

[jlb]

I don't see a missing brace, but I do see a missing if. You have an else followed by an else, each else must have an if statement.

[andigirlsc]

Where does the missing if need to be? I have several ifs to go into before I can begin else statements. Don't have have to go into all of the ifs first? I wish I could post my flowchart.

[jlb]

Every else must have a corresponding if in the block directly above the else.

if(condition)
{
   // Some statements.
}
else
{
   // Some statements.
}

[TheIdeasMan]

To expand on jlb post:

if(condition) {
   // Some statements.
}
else if (condition) {
   // Some statements.
}
else {
   // Some statements.
}

if (ticType == 1)
{//if purchase toddler ticket
    ...

if (discountQues == 1)

I think what you are trying to do is nest the if statements. You've got your closing braces at the end of your if statements in the wrong places. What you want is:

if (ticType == 1)
{//if purchase toddler ticket
    ...
    if (numTic > 0 && numTic <= 10)
    {//if number of toddler tickets is between 1-10
        ...
        if (discountQues == 1)
        {//if customer has a discount coupon
            ...
            if (totalNumTic >= MAX_SEAT_COUNT)
            {//if the total number of tickets equals the maximum seat count
                ...
            }
            else
            {//else the total number of tickets does not equal the
              //maximum seat count
                ...
            }
        }
        else
        {//else the customer does not have a discount coupon
            ...
        }
    }
    else
    {//else the number of tickets is not between 1-10
        ...
    }
}
else if (ticType == 2)
{
}

Notice each successive if statement is contained within the previous if statement code block.
