[C++] - Error C1004: unexpected end-of-file found

Willir · 7 Apr 2016 at 21:19

I am in the middle of programming a Train Seat Reservation program, could anybody help me out with this error I am getting when trying to compile and run my code the code I get is:

Error 4 error C1004: unexpected end-of-file found

I have looked everywhere online and the only possible fix is to change the linker to console, but it don't work. Others are saying it could be a missing semi-colon that I have not put after a closing bracket.

Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

Btw the program is not even close to being finished so there may be other minor problems with the code.

Not sure this is the right forum for this but try removing the comma from end of line 17.

Probably that.

Gawd I don't miss doing this stuff at uni. Soon you'll be able to use the tools people in the real world use though, don't give up

Also try to get rid of those C-style arrays and use vectors, and for arrays of chars use a string. Much more maintainable then.

Ehh, I use C++, as do all my colleagues.

C++ is by far my favourite language to use and is what a lot of the professional world uses. Unless he ends up just doing front end web development then he'll probably (hopefully) get to use C++.

And yes, what D.P. says, please use the tools that are at your disposal, you're using C++ as if you're living in the 90s. The STL exists for a very good reason, it's to make the code you're writing ten times easier to code and read.

Is, but becoming more "was" my favourite language too. Have to admit I'm getting more and more in love with C# as time goes by. A few years ago I wouldn't have touched it, I was all about the c++

.

I'd also echo the above post and take a look at the C+11/14 features potentially. They make aspects nicer to use and worth learning.

Non-functional code quickly done off the top of my head so it might not make any sense at all but I always kind of liked this kind of technique for handling stuff like that:

Code:

typedef struct
{
	char	*entry;
} items_t;

items_t items[]= {
	{"entry 1"],
	{"entry 2"],
	{"entry 3"],
	{NULL}
};

items_t	*item

for (item=items ; item->entry ; item++)
{
// do something with each item
}

Pretty much endlessly expandable and self contained.

So do I (game dev). What I meant was he will be able to use proper modern C++ tools to get things done instead of slogging through the same curriculum most schools/universities have been teach since the 90s.
