What is the cause of declaration syntax error?

#include<iostream.h>
#include<stdio.h>
#include<fstream.h>
#include<conio.h>
void main()
{
     clrscr();
     char i;
     ofstream fout("C:\\TurboC4\\TC\\BIN\\Article.txt"ios::out)
     [B]if(!fout.fail())[/B] //error <<<<<<<<<<<<
     {
          cout<<"/nOpened successfully"
          cout<<"/nEnter character:";
          i=getchar();
          while(i!=$)
          {
               fout.put(i);
               i=getchar();
          }
     }
     else
     {
          cout<<"/nError in Opening";
     }
     fout.close();
     ifstream.fin("C:\\TurboC4\\TC\\BIN\\Article.txt"ios::in);
     i=fin.get();
     cout<<"\nCurrent Contents";
     while(!fin.eof())
     {
          cout<<i;
          i=fin.get()
     }
     fin.close();
     getch();
     return;
}

I'm getting a declaration syntax error at line 10, I'm not sure why please explain the cause of this error and the correction required, Thanks in advance!

It looks like line 9 does not end in a semi-colon.
