Expected unqualified-id

Hi, I'm having some issues with my code and I am getting some odd errors.

if (cond1 == 't' && cond2 == 't'){
cout << num1 << " is the maximum" << endl;

cout << num2 << " is the minimum" << endl;}
else if (cond2 == 't' && cond3 == 't');{
cout << num3 << " is the minimum" << endl;}
}
return 0;


Please excuse the sloppy formatting.

Here are the errors I am receiving when I try to run the code:

Lab3P2.cpp: In function 'int main()':
Lab3P2.cpp:15: error: expected `}' before 'else'
Lab3P2.cpp: At global scope:
Lab3P2.cpp:15: error: expected unqualified-id before 'else'
Lab3P2.cpp:18: error: expected unqualified-id before 'if'
Lab3P2.cpp:20: error: expected unqualified-id before 'else'
Lab3P2.cpp:22: error: expected unqualified-id before 'if'
Lab3P2.cpp:24: error: expected unqualified-id before 'else'
Lab3P2.cpp:28: error: expected unqualified-id before 'if' 


I have no idea what they mean by "expected unqualified-id before", and every time I add the } before "else" in line 15, I just get more errors.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Remove the ; from line 13.
You have a semicolon on line 13 that shouldn't be there.

16, 19, 22, 25 all require semicolons (before the brace but after the letter):

cond2 = 't' ; /*<--*/ }
Thanks for the help so far. I did what you guys said, and now I've gotten these errors:

Lab3P2.cpp: In function 'int main()':
Lab3P2.cpp:29: error: expected `}' before 'else'
Lab3P2.cpp: At global scope:
Lab3P2.cpp:35: error: expected unqualified-id before 'if'
Lab3P2.cpp:38: error: expected unqualified-id before 'else'
Lab3P2.cpp:40: error: expected unqualified-id before 'else'
Lab3P2.cpp:40: error: expected unqualified-id before '{' token
Lab3P2.cpp:42: error: expected declaration before '}' token 


So I get a few more of the expected unqualified-id errors, but in different lines now, and I'm still not entirely sure what this is supposed to mean.

Here's the updated code, if it helps:

Missing '}' at the end and a few other edits done.

You really need to work on indenting your code:

Thanks CaptainBlastXD, works with your edits. Greatly appreciate all the help guys.
