Parce Error Help

Can anyone tell me why this won't compile?


#include <stdio.h>
#include <ctype.h>

void main ()
{

/* Variables defined with corresponding tax rates. */
float fTaxRateDelMar = .0725;
float fTaxRateEncinitas = .075;
float fTaxRateLaJolla = .0775;

/* Variable defined for user inputed dollar amount to be taxed.*/
float fDollarAmount = 0.0;
printf("\nWelcome to Kudler Fine Foods.\n");
printf("\nPlease enter the subtotal to be taxed: ");
scanf ("%f", &fDollarAmount);


/* Check validity of user input (number) - return if input is invalid, continue if input is valid */
int i = isdigit(fDollarAmount);
while i==0
{
printf("\nPlease enter a valid number: ");
scanf ("%f", &fDollarAmount);
int i = isdigit(fDollarAmount);
}

/* Calculation variables defined and calculations accomplished. */
float fSalesTaxDelMar = fDollarAmount * fTaxRateDelMar;
float fSalesTaxEncinitas = fDollarAmount * fTaxRateEncinitas;
float fSalesTaxLaJolla = fDollarAmount * fTaxRateLaJolla;
float fTotalSaleDelMar = fDollarAmount + fSalesTaxDelMar;
float fTotalSaleEncinitas = fDollarAmount + fSalesTaxEncinitas;
float fTotalSaleLaJolla = fDollarAmount + fSalesTaxLaJolla;

/* Print statements to display the Sales Tax and Total Sale values. */
printf("\nThe sales tax on $%i at the Del Mar store is: $%.2f\n", fDollarAmount, fSalesTaxDelMar);
printf("\nThe sales tax on $%i at the Encinitas store is: $%.2f\n", fDollarAmount, fSalesTaxEncinitas);
printf("\nThe sales tax on $%i at the La Jolla store is: $%.2f\n", fDollarAmount, fSalesTaxLaJolla);

}

After compiling you program, I found some errors, which I want you to correct.
Kindly change void main() to int main() and return 0; at the end of main function.
Also change while i==0 to while (i==0). This is a syntax error.

I am not aware of your program functionality. So I got output as
Welcome to Kudler Fine Foods.

Please enter the subtotal to be taxed:

So do the changes and ask if any problem.

I made the changes you suggested but I'm still getting the same parce error:

line 45: Parse Error, expecting `'}''
'int i = isdigit(fDollarAmount)'

Any idea what's causing it?

.Kindly change void main() to int main() and return 0; at the end of main function.

Can we have this engraved on titanium plaques and nail them to the front door
of every possible C/C++ forum please?

kind regards,

I think you have forgot to put "}" somewhere near 'int i = isdigit(fDollarAmount)' line. Kindly check that. You will have to check all "{" have it's "}".

Have I done anything wrong? Actually it was causing error. Kindly correct me if I am wrong.

You haven't done anything wrong at all; as a matter of fact your statement is
1000% correct as per the definitiion in the Standard; I'd wish more people used
a proper int main() instead of that silly Microsoftism 'void main()'.

Hence the engraved plaques ;-)

I see. I think your suggestion of plaques is not a bad idea..! lol

I have checked them and that's what's driving me nuts. There are only 2 sets of "{ }" in the code - one set for the main function and one for the while loop and both complete sets are there.

Care to post you code again? Because except for the "i == 0" instead of "(i == 0)"
there were no syntax errors in your code. You're on the wrong track or your code
is not what we see here.

kind regards,

Jos

ps. and put [ code ] before your code and [ /code ] afterwards (without the spaces).

This is C.

In C all variables must be defined at the start of the function.

Only in C++ can you define variables in the middle of the code.

That was the problem, thanks.

Now that I got that working, anybody have any idea how I can validate that the user is entering a number and not a letter or special character?

Yes. Start a new thread. When I see it I will respond.
