I only get two errors.

1. [Error] a function-definition is not allowed here before '{' token

2. [Error] expected '}' at end of input

[jaycee005]

Its an enrollment system advising. We just have to copy it from a book. It's an advising system for students who wants to enroll. I just need to fix these errors. Appreciate your help.

[jaycee005]

Thank you.

I posted it. Right here. http://textuploader.com/5888r

1. [Error] a function-definition is not allowed here before '{' token

2. [Error] expected '}' at end of input

The compiler should also mention the line of code, where the error seems to occur. (Trivial for the latter "at the end of file" error, but crucial for the first error.)

On the first error the compiler has stumbled on '{' where it did not expect. Which '{' of your code is it and what is before it? (The "before" could be on multiple lines.)

The second error indicates an unpaired '{'. The compiler has seen an open scope {, then waded through the content of the scope until it did hit EOF, rather than a closing }.

If the parser fails to find a closing delimiter before the end-of-file, there is something mismatched.

You can often find this sort of problem by indenting your code. By not indenting your program, you make it artificially difficult to read and to follow -- and since studies have shown that you spend about 90% of your time reading your code, being able to read it is important.

In your program, find

void grading() 
      }int inYear,inSem;

You are missing (at least) a single opening brace following the function declaration.
