There is something wrong with my keyformula in vigenere cipher, and error message: expected expression

Question

I red all the questions with the code about the same issue but I can't figure out what is wrong with my code. When I use the command ./generate 1000 50 | ./find 127 I get: Didn't find needle in haystack. What am I doing wrong?

bool search(int value, int values[], int n)

{

if (n < 1)
{

    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
    {
        if (values[i] == value)
        {   
            return true;
        }
        return false;
    }
    else
    {
        return false;
    } 
}

}

When I write make find in the terminator I get the next error:

helpers.c:29:5: error: expected expression

else

^

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

Hint only: if (n < 1) is the problem. Review the arguments to search.

Answer 2

New answer, based on new information. There's something wrong with your parentheses. That "else" has no "if" preceding it. It isn't with the outer if because it is inside that code block. It isn't with the inner if because the curly brace above the else closes the for block. Hopefully color coded braces will help.
