Help with a Point of Sale Program?

[pepperhead11]

Ok, I've been trying to run this program on Borland C++ (Version 5.0A). The program is a Point of Sale program. I keep getting the errors "expression syntax at (121,26)" and "If statement missing ) at (129,6). Try as I might, I can't seem to fix the errors. Help?

Are you sure all those strings fit into 19 characters? (at the beginning where you use strcpy)

You are using C++ so I might suggest a more flexible way of storing a string, specifically the C++ string class.

#include <string>

int main()
{
   std::string input = "Whatever length you want, and some member functions to operate on it.";
}

--edit--

Oh wait you're using Borland C++. Well you may need a newer compiler, your compiler produces 16 bit executables if I'm not mistaken. It probably doesn't have a lot of the newer C++ language features and is extremely outdated by modern standards.

GCC and Visual Studio 2010 Express edition are both free.

#include<string.h>

Bad, bad.

Ok, I've been trying to run this program on Borland C++ (Version 5.0A). The program is a Point of Sale program. I keep getting the errors "expression syntax at (121,26)" and "If statement missing ) at (129,6). Try as I might, I can't seem to fix the errors.

I don't see anything wrong with line 121: if((command == UP) && (wherey() > 2)) nor line 129: } But on 119: while(command != 17); if command == 17 you have yourself an tight endless loop. You might want to get rid of the ;
