The error is at line 121. I cant compile this code due to the error. please help me

Your if - line 58

if (ans3 == 'e')
cout << endl;

probably should be

if (ans3 == 'e')
{
cout << endl;

I'm sorry for posting the whole code here, i think the problem is not really on line 121.

gerard4143 i've tried your suggestion, b

It's not, it's on line 58, like Gerard said. It's flagging 121 because your error around Line 58 closes the if's scope prematurely thus preventing it from associating with an else. As a result, when the compiler gets to the else on Line 121 there is no open if available for it to associate the else with so it throws an error and lists the current line as the error location.

You'll get the same result on any compiler because you have written syntactically correct code up until that point. Compilers simply aren't smart enough to go back 50+ lines to find the actual error. Once a compiler is done with a particular line, it pretty-much forgets that it exists.
