Why won't this work. I am getting
error C2181: illegal else without matching if

If (hours_worked<= 40)
//Type here what will happend if its true

else
//type here what will happend if its false...


Also please tell me what you want the program to do... Would be easier for me too help that way...

TheCompBoy, thanks for replying.. Here's the full code.. I was still working on it.. I am trying to code calculation for gross pay.

/* Calculate gross pay */

/* declare functions */


#include "stdafx.h"

#include "iostream"

using namespace std;


int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])

{

float gross_pay, payrate, over_time, overtime_rate, reg_pay, over_time_pay;


int hours_worked;


//Input hours_worked 

cin>> hours_worked;


//Input pay rate

cin >> payrate;


//Regular pay calculation module

if	(hours_worked < = 40);

	reg_pay = payrate * hours_worked;

cout<< reg_pay;

else 


hours_worked > 40;


//Calulate over time

over_time= hours_worked - 40;


//gross pay calculation

over_time_pay = over_time * overtime_rate;


gross_pay = over_time_pay + reg_pay;

cout << gross_pay;





	return 0;

}

It should be <iostream>, not "iostream". Library name inside < > means compiler will look for it in it's include directory while " " means it will look where your program is saved.

if	(hours_worked < = 40)[B];[/B]

reg_pay = payrate * hours_worked;

cout<< reg_pay;

else 


hours_worked > 40;

No semicolon there, should be curly brackets since you have more than 1 statement following if statement. I guess else is probably missing if as well.

else if (hours_worked > 40)
