Hi All,
I'm taking a programing class and am very new to all of this; so bare wtih me if the following code is excessively sloppy. When I compile this it gives me

error C2059: syntax error : '}'

-it's pointing to the last bracket in the main function(clearly marked in comments, just scroll); does anybody know what's going on? Thanks for your time. Here's the code:



#include <iostream.h>
#include "wordBank.h"
#include <string.h>
#include "Gallows.h"
int drawWord (char x [21], char guess, int length);

void main ()

{
do
{
char x [21], guess, guessed[21];
wordBank y;
int z=0, hit, Misses=0, i=0, end=0;
static int turn=0;
y.readfile();
strcpy(x,y.getRandomWord());

Gallows g;

g.draw(Misses);

y.setWordLength(x);
int length=0;
length=y.getWordLength();

while (Misses<7)
{

cout<<endl<<"guess a letter\n";
end=drawWord(x, guess, length);
cout<<endl;
cin>>guess;

turn++;

hit=y.findLetter(guess, x);
g.setMisses(hit, x, guess);
Misses=g.getMisses();
g.draw(Misses);

cout<<"you have guessed: ";
int n=g.getNumGuessed();
g.setGuessed(guess);
int num=g.getNumGuessed();
for(i=0; i<num; i++)
{
cout<<g.getGuessed(i);
guessed[i]=g.getGuessed(i);


}

if (Misses==6)
{
cout<<"you loose\n";
end=1;
}

if (end==1)
{
cout<<"would you like to play again(0=no, 1=yes)?\n";
cin>>end;
}


}while(end!=1);

}
}//<********** it's pointing here***********

int drawWord(char x[21], char guess, int length)
{
static char display[21]="";
int win=0;

for (int i=0; x[i]!='\0'; i++)
{
if (guess==x[i])
{
display[i]=guess;
}

else if (guess!=x[i] && display[i]!='A'&& display[i]!='B'&& display[i]!='C'&& display[i]!='D'
&& display[i]!='E'&& display[i]!='F'&& display[i]!='G'&& display[i]!='H'

never mind. I figured it out. the while loop should have been ended one bracket later. Thanks.

I'm assuming it's this line:

I've tried doing my best but I don't have a compiler installed and it's been a few years since I've taken my C++ class.
