I need to display the lowest of 2 numbers and message if numbers are equal. I am getting an error for illegal else without matching if. This is for C++ Visual Studio
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
//Display description of program
cout<<"You will be asked to enter two numbers."<<endl<<
"The smallest value will be displayed or a message if they are the same"
<<endl<<endl;
//Prompt the user for the first number
int firstNum, secondNum, smallestNum;
cout<<"Please enter a numeric value: ";
cin>>firstNum;
//Prompt the user for the second number
cout<<"Please enter a numeric value: ";
cin>>secondNum;
cout<<endl<<endl;
//If second number is less than first number display second number
if(firstNum>secondNum)
{
smallestNum=secondNum;
}
cout<<"The smallest value is: "<<smallestNum<<endl;
//If first number is less than second number display first number
if(firstNum<secondNum)
{
smallestNum=firstNum;
cout<<"The smallest value is: "<<smallestNum<<endl;
//Else both numbers are equal
else(firstNum==secondNum);
cout<<"The numbers are equal: "<<firstNum<< ","<<secondNum<<endl;
