When the code is that weird, sometimes the error messages don't make sense :)

A few problems I see:

1. At the end of your case "d": block, you have a } where there was no previous { . Unless there is code in your case "d": block that you're not showing us, then you can just delete that } .
2. In your default: block, you're starting with an else if , where there was no if before that. You can only use else if after an if . Unless there's code you're not showing us, then you can change the else if to just if .
3. There's no } at the end, to close the else block.
4. You still need a break; at the end of the default: block.
