hey, i'm having trouble with an assignment. the assignment is to call on a file that has information in it then echo the information and use it to separate brackets and make averages and all that good stuff. my problem is i am getting an unexpected identifier error on my if statement. i am new to c++ and this is my first class so any help would be awesome. here is my code and i have attached the file that i am supposed to call upon

#include <iostream> 
#include <iomanip>
#include <string>
#include <fstream>

using namespace std;

int main () {
    
    
    //initialize variables
    string filepath;
    string name;
    char seen;
    int age;
    int score;
    int total1;
    int count1;
    int total2;
    int count2;
    int total3;
    int count3;
    int total4;
    int count4;
    ifstream infile;
    
    //prompt user for file path
    cout << "please enter the full file path:" << "\n";
    cin >> filepath;
    
    
    
    //opens file
    infile.open (filepath.c_str());
    
        
    //program interprets the file with variables
    while (!infile.eof()){
        infile >> name >> seen >> age >> score;
        
        //echo file
        cout << name  << "    "    << setw(15)  << left <<
                seen  << setw(10)  << left <<
                age   << setw(10)  << left <<
                score << setw(10)  << left <<
                endl;
        
        //if statements to separate the brackets of people
        //next line gives expected identifier error 
        if ( age >= 18 ) && ( seen == Y ){
            total1 += score;
            count1++;
        }else if ( age >= 18 ) && ( seen == N ){
            total2 += score;
            count2++;
        }else if ( age <= 18 ) && ( seen == Y ){
            total3 += score;
            count3++;
        }else if ( age <= 18 ) && ( seen == N ){
            total4 += score;
            count4++;
        }
                        
    }
    
    cout << score << total1 << total2 << total3 << total4 <<
                     count1 << count2 << count3 << count4;
    
    
    
    infile.close();
    
    getchar();
    getchar();
    return 0;
}

An if statement looks like:

if ( boolean expression ) statement

Check your parenthesis in your if statements.

By the way, your comment on line 11 is completely misleading. You aren't initializing any variables, and it will cause havoc with your computations downstream.
