Answer 1

Your curly braces are all over the place. Furthermore, you need all of you code to be within the opening and closing in main. For example....

#include <stdio.h>
#include <cs50.h> //Don't forget to include this (it's what gives you getint()!)

int main(void)
{

     ALL CODE GOES HERE (At least for this simple code)

}

Answer 2

Simply put, the {} curly braces are badly placed throughout and there are too many. You should go back and review their usage, particularly in combination with main(), and with do{}while.

It would be easy for me to point out the specific issues, but it is better for you to research it and understand why you got the errors.
