c++ - Why am I getting an 'Else without previous if' error within a for loop? -

i'm new c++ , have been staring @ (probably abysmal) code while , can't figure out what's off it.

i'm trying loop through few iterations of if , else statements , must doing grammatically wrong - shows compiler errors of 'else without previous if'

this class , i'm trying work out, if see obvious overlooking love know.

thank you!

for (i = 0; < iterationsnum; i++){ if (charliealive == 0) // aarron's shot { if (aaronshot() == 1) charliealive = 1; } else (charliealive == 1 && bobalive == 0);{ if (aaronshot() == 1) bobalive = 1; } else (charliealive == 1 && bobalive == 1 && aaronalive == 0);{ cout << "aaron winner!\n"; totalshot++; aaroncounter++; } continue; if (charliealive == 0 && aaronalive ==0) // bob's shot { if (bobshot() == 1) charliealive = 1; } else (charliealive == 1 && aaronalive == 0);{ if (bobshot() == 1) aaronalive = 1; } else (charliealive == 1 && aaronalive == 1 && bobalive == 0);{ cout << "bob winner!\n"; bobcounter++; totalshot++; } continue; if (charliealive == 0 && bobalive == 0) // charlie's shot { bobalive = 1; } else (charliealive == 0 && bobalive == 1 && aaronalive == 0);{ aaronalive = 1; totalshot++; } else (charliealive == 0 && bobalive == 1 && aaronalive == 1);{ cout << "charlie winner!\n"; } continue;

else doesn' take condition, you've written this:

else (charliealive == 1 && bobalive == 0); //else : (notice semicolon)

which doesn't intend do.

you want thos:

else if (charliealive == 1 && bobalive == 0) //else if : (semicolon removed)

notice difference.

also, there can @ 1 else block, associated if block or chain of if, else-if, else-if blocks. is, can write this:

if (condition) {} else {}

or,

if (condition0) {} else if (condition1) {} else if (condition2) {} else if (condition3) {} else if (condition4) {} else {}

in case, else block always lastly block. after if write else block, error.

apart have semicolon @ wrong place. fixed also:

else (charliealive == 1 && bobalive == 0); <---- remove semicolon!

hope helps.
