The error message also tells you the position of error.

Have a look at the toupper function also.

Solution 1

C++

if (code=='A' && 'a')

These are not valid statements. You must tell the compiler what the small a is being compared against:

C++

if (code=='A' || code=='a') // using OR operator

You also cannot use the AND operator there. A variable cannot be equal to 'A' and also equal to 'a'.

Apart from what Richard has mentioned you need to change the sum in the lass loop to resolve your error.

for (i = 0; i < n; i++)
{
    // sum = sum + (qticket[i] * i);
    sum = sum + (qticket * i);
}

printf("TOTAL AMOUNT:%.2lf\n", sum);
printf("\t\t-THANK YOU AND HAVE A NICE JOURNEY WITH SELANGOR AIRWAYS-");
