If/Else Statement Troubles

LordApy (8)
I am attempting to program a console app which simulates opening up a case in CS:GO. First the program generates a random number 1-100 and then depending on that number displays a certain skin that the play is given. However, after struggling to figure out a way to make an if statement that accepts multiples values I am struggling on the else part for accepting other values.

I am currently experiencing issues at line 72 where I am getting the error, "expected '}' before 'else' and 'gWeaponGen' was not declared in this scope.

I am new to programming and started just a few days ago so I am at a loss for the reasoning behind this issue so I would appreciate any help. Also because I am a beginner I expect the code to be very sloppy and inefficient, I ask you kindly to help with me with my main problem before recommending other potential tweaks. Once again I appreciate any assistance I can get.

The else statement can't have any conditions, perhaps you want to try an else if()?

Also do you realize that there are other comparison operators other than the operator==? And that there are other logical operators other than the OR?

Have you considered using the greater than or less than operators in your if statement?

ie:

if(someValue >0 && someValue < 8)

I didn't even know it was possible to else/if and I'm glad you mention a better way to manage the if statement. I had no idea if it would even work the way I had it.

        int gWeapon;
        srand( time(0));
        gWeapon=rand()%100+1;
        int gWeaponGen = gWeapon;
        if(gWeaponGen > 0 && < 8)


I tried using this but it returned the error

expected primary-expression before '<' token


What exactly am I missing?

Oops, I should've caught that. I appreciate the help.
