Sorry for the general post Jes: I forgot you were doing it using a command line
compiler and the other guys have nailed it. I just got up this morning and saw
your first post when I started going through my unread mail messages. Usually I
go through them in reverse order but... well I got lazy this morning. .

I don't do C# or C++ but I see that there is a colon after the switch
statement literal, I think you defined it as an int.
Also, reading one line at a time with Windoweyes in this post I get 2
statements in the Switch statement on each line. I'm not sure if that is the
case in your editor but you might check it out.
Finally, check to make sure you need semicolons in each place inside the
switch statement.
If you are building in Visual Studio or one of the Express modules it should
give you the line and column of the error. You can double click the error
message in the Error List and have your cursor placed on the line in question.
You might try that and even copy the line in question to a post if you can't
figure it out or someone else has not answered this question already.

Hey guys,
Here's a code for an assignment which has to be turned in tomorrow. Every
time I try to compile it, Visual Studio keeps telling me I'm missing a ; before
<<
What's wrong?
Code follows:
//Ch6ConE06.cpp
//Displays a class rank based on a code
//entered by the user
//Created/revised by <your name> on <current date>
#include <iostream>
using std::cout;
using std::cin;
using std::endl;
int main()
{
//declare variable
int code = 0;
//enter input
cout << "Enter the code: ";
cin >> code;
//enter switch statements
switch(code)
{
case 1:;
cout << "Freshman. " ; << endl;
break;
case 2:
cout <<"Sophomore"; << endl;
break;
case 3:
cout << "Junior "; << endl;
break;
case 4:
cout << "Senior" ; << endl;
break;
case 5:
cout << "Error! "; << endl;
}
//endswitch
//display output
return 0;
} //end of main function
Jes
