[muhammadlodhi]

int main(){
char i,input[30],close,open;
for(i=0;i<='.';i++){
printf("enter equation");
scanf("%c",input[i]);
if(input[i]=='(')
input++;
input[i]=open;
else if(input[i]==')')
input[i]--;
input[i]=close;
else if(open[i]==close[i])
{
printf("paranthesis are balance");
}
else
printf("paranthesis are not balance");
}

getch();
return 0;

}

You have to use braces with your if statements. This code:

if(input[i]=='(') 
input++;

is a complete iof statement. It cannot have an else. You need to:

if(input[i]=='(') 
{
input++; 
etc...

}
else
{

}

BTW: There is also an input++. This is bad because input is a local array and you cannot change the address of a local variable.

Read my post again.

Put braces in your if statements.

Does your current code compile with no errors or warnings? The code you've posted has errors.

If this program doesn't work, try making a simpler one. Save this file and start a new file.
Eg, try making a program that counts open and close parentheses and checks if they are equal first.
