Need assistance please

[ajtorres]

every time I try to build the solution it tells me there are several errors. I am using Visual Studio. Can anyone help please?
This is what I'm supposed to do
****
1.Storing the information of each car in an array (use multiple arrays if needed). Example: car numbers, colors of cars, lap time for each car, etc.
2.Validate user input via the following rules:

•Car number must be an integer
•Car color must be a string
•Lap time format must be MM:SS
1.Print out an error message if the user gives invalid input.
****

And here is what I have so far

What and where are the errors? You should include them verbatim - copy and paste from the compiler output.

You have naked code (statements outside any function body) from line 78 to line 112, and an extra brace on line 110. Delete any extra braces and place the naked code inside the right place (the main function?)

How do I know?
The error is easy enough to see because your code is (almost) properly indented. I can tell there's an extra brace because the indentation puts two adjacent braces on the same column (on line 109-110).

The compiler looks at your code exactly once in lexical (text) order from top to bottom, remembering what it sees as it proceeds through your program (this is actually guaranteed by the language standard). This means that diagnostic messages always appear at or after the broken code, but never before.

For each diagnostic message, the compiler will give you a location referring to the spot the error was detected in your code. You should find the earliest such location in your code that shows up in your compiler output and take a close look at and before that location.

could you help me fix this? I'm still learning and trying to figure out what goes where.

You can't have all that code outside a function. There are only certain specific types of statement that can be outside any functions - basically, declarations. All other code has to be inside a function. Otherwise, when would it run?
