ERROR: "else with no matching if"

[bmxtrev]

Here is my first program, I had to use a lot of if/ else statements. For some reason the last "else" (bolded) is giving me an error and not letting me run the program. whats going on?

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

const float MILES_PER_KM      = 1.0 / 1.61;
const float KM_PER_MILE       = 1.61;
const float FREEZING_F        = 32.0;
const float FAHR_PER_CELSIUS  = 9.0 / 5.0;
const float CELSIUS_PER_FAHR  = 5.0 / 9.0;
const float MAX_F_TEMP        = 100.0;
const float MIN_F_TEMP        = 0.0;
   
int main ()
{
   char unit;
   float value;
   cout << "Input a type and an amount (K, M, F, C): ";
   cin >> unit;
   cin >> value;
   
   if (unit == 'K')
      if ( value < 0 )
         cout << "UNABLE TO PROCESS: Negative distances are not supported.";
      else   
         cout << "Distance " << value << " kilometers" << " is "
              << ( value * MILES_PER_KM ) << " miles.";
   else if (unit == 'M')
      if ( value < 0 )
         cout << "UNABLE TO PROCESS: Negative distances are not supported.";
      else
         cout << "Distance " << value << " miles" << " is "
              << value * KM_PER_MILE << " kilometers.";
    else if (unit == 'C')
      cout << "Temperature " << value << " C is "
           << ( (value * FAHR_PER_CELSIUS) + FREEZING_F ) << " F.";
    else if (unit == 'F')
       if (value > MAX_F_TEMP || value < MIN_F_TEMP)
          cout << "UNABLE TO PROCESS: Temperature too hot or too cold.";
          cout << "Please enter a temperature comfortable when wearing a sweater.";
       else 
          cout << "Temperature " << value << " F is "
               << ((value - FREEZING_F) / FAHR_PER_CELSIUS) << " C.";
   else 
      cout << "UNABLE TO PROCESS: " << unit << " is not a recognized measurement.";
   
      
            
   
   
   return 0;
}

and yes, the if else's are indented properly, because there are no errors for the first 3 unit types, only for the last one ( 'F' ), and i have them all exactly in the same format.

If you want to use multiple statements within an if statement, you need to use braces.

if(...) {
    ...
    ...
}
else {
    ...
}

Without braces, you can only have one statement that follows, and you have two right before that bolded else.

PS: Use code tags next time. It's the <> button to the right ->

Thank you! it worked.

and do the code tags reserve the spacing/ indenting?

Preserve? Yes.
