i have following code to sum two struct elements
#include <iostream>
#include <ostream>
#include <fstream>
using namespace std;
struct USC{
int dollars;
int cents;
USC operator+(const USC o){
USC temp={0,0};
temp.cents=cents+o.cents;
temp.dollars=dollars+o.dollars;
if (temp.cents>=100){
temp.dollars+=1;
temp.cents-=100;
}
return temp;
}
}; /* <-- make sure that semicolon is there */
ostream& operator<<(ostream &output, const USCurrency &o) {
output<<o.dollars<<" "<<o.cents<<endl;
return output;
}
int main(){
USC a={2,50};
USC b={1,75};
USC c=a+b;
cout<<c<<endl;
return 0;
}
but here is a list of errors

please guys help me what is wrong?
You need a semicolon after the struct definition (after the curly brace on line 22)
I edited the post to show where it goes
