You have a brackets problem. You need to indent your code so that blocks of code line up. Otherwise you can't see brackets problems. You have an if statement (line 32) with a starting bracket but no ending bracket. Indent the code properly and the lack of bracket will really stick out. You can't see it when the code is indented as you have indented it.

I mean a }. You have a { on line 32, with no matching }. There could be other problems too, but that's definitely ONE problem.

Or use Visual Studio and press CTRL-A, CTRL-K, CTRL-F.
Or if linux is your taste: Use Netbeans and click source->format.

I'm sure most IDE's have this kind of functionality build in
