I am going back through some old code I wrote last year during school to try and refresh myself for upcoming classes. This one code I went back and tried to build it and I receive this following error: error C2059: syntax error : 'return'. I am not sure why I am getting this exactly but I am almost certain it has to do with my do while loop. Any help on fixing this error will be appreciated.

Note: I tried to make sure all my braces lined up and for each open there was a closing. I could have missed one though.

	   else{

		regpay = REGWEEK *rate;

		othours = hours - REGWEEK;

		otrate = posrate * rate;

		otpay = othours * otrate;

		gross = otpay + regpay;


	   }   // end of else hour > REGWEEK

	   cout << emp << endl << "Gross Amount" << setw(10) << setfill('.')
		<< "$" << gross << endl << endl;

	   //Ask User If They Wish to Continue and Proceed Accordingly

	   cout << "Would you like to continue to another employee?"
			<< "\ny - yes\nn - no"

	   cin >> chioce;

	   cout << endl;

	   while( chioce != 'n' );}

      return EXIT_SUCCESS;  

}   // end of main

while( chioce != 'n' );} should actually be: } while( chioce != 'n' ); Have a nice coding :)

Thanks that worked perfectly
