this is the assignment I need some help with.I have posted what i have written so far for this assignment and am not sure what steps to take next, or if i have properly coded so far.

I'm trying to get my program to work but it won't compile i keep getting these errors below. when I try to build a solution. Can someone help me to fix these errors? I know that it is probably something simple, however after a few hours I have run out of ideas.

The guidelines for the assignment can be found here: http://pastebin.com/WbJZnT4h

the piece of code that is giving me the error is:

(53): error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before 'type'
(64): error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before 'type'
(96): error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before '||'
(99): error C2181: illegal else without matching if
(102): error C2059: syntax error : 'type'

} 

Line 53, remove the semi-colon from the end of that line. Remove lines 61 and 62. Line 94, put a space before the % in the scanf-- scanf(" %c", &entered_char);

Line 96, you need to surround both logical arguments in your if statement, with parentheseis:

if((argument1) || (argument2))

Line 102, delete the word char in that line. The variable is already declared in your program, you can't /shouldn't re-declare it.

You should be re-compiling your program frequently, to catch any syntax errors before they cause zillions of other errors during compilation.
