TripleX - If/Else syntax errors. Help!

[Aidan_Schneider]

I was trying to do the If/Else section of this course, but I started getting syntax errors with this code.

// TripleX is a number game based in the Star Wars Universe.

#include

int main()

// Sending welcome messages to the console.

std::cout << "You are an Imperial Security Bureau Agent trying to break into a Banking Clan vault...";

std::cout << std::endl;

std::cout << "You must enter the correct digits to continue..." << std::endl;

// Declare 3 number code.

const int CodeA = 1;

const int CodeB = 9;

const int CodeC = 7;

const int CodeSum = CodeA + CodeB + CodeC;

const int CodeProduct = CodeA * CodeB * CodeC;



// Print CodeSum and CodeProduct to terminal.

std::cout << std::endl;

std::cout << "| There are 3 numbers in the code." << std::endl;

std::cout << "| The code adds up to: " << CodeSum << std::endl;

std::cout << "| The code multiplies to give: " << CodeProduct << std::endl;

int GuessA, GuessB, GuessC;

std::cin >> GuessA;

std::cin >> GuessB;

std::cin >> GuessC;

int GuessSum = GuessA + GuessB + GuessC;

int GuessProduct = GuessA * GuessB * GuessC;

if (GuessSum == CodeSum && GuessProduct == CodeProduct)

{

    std::cout << "| You've broken in! You win!";

}

else

{

    std::cout << "| You've been seen! Run!";

}



return 0;

First of all, your code runs fine.
Second of all, your code does not run fine on your PC, because if that’s the exact code you are running, then there are issues.

1. You have an empty #include
2. Your main method is not included inside a code block (inside curly brackets { }), meaning the compiler will show all these errors you see in every line of the code.

I don’t know how in the name of sanity I deleted that and didn’t notice it.
Thanks.
