Why wont this compile?

#include <ctime>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
    //Array processing
    int info[5][2];     //Array with 10 elements
    int amt, amto, amtt, amtr, amtv;
    int x=0;          //counter
    int y;            //number of elements in array
    int value=0;      //input value
    int total=0;      //total
    float average;    //average
    int stop=0;
   
    cout<<"\nThis program will calculate the average of up to 10 numbers\n";
    while(value!=-1)
    {
            cout<<"Enter sales ID number: ";
            cin>>value;
            if (value=1)
            {
              cout<<"Enter sales amount: ";
              cin>>amto;
            )
            else if (value=2)
            {
              cout<<"Enter sales amount: ";
              cin>>amtt;
            )
            else if (value=3)
            {
              cout<<"Enter sales amount: ";
              cin>>amtr;
            )
            else if (value=4)
            {
              cout<<"Enter sales amount: ";
              cin>>amtf;
            )
            else if (value=5)
            {
              cout<<"Enter sales amount: ";
              cin>>amtv;
            }
            }

There's more stuff after it, but this is what's important.

I keep getting these errors.
"27 expected primary-expression before ')' token "
"27 expected `;' before ')' token "

Can anyone help me!?

Wow, that's quite a broad generalization for a language with such a large developer base. And honestly, you're not special for understanding pointers. We all know you just learned about pointers last week but please, shut your mouth about it.

Do you care to point out how I, >>18, am wrong and you are so very right? Did I hurt your feelings?

What's funny with your post is that most C programmers I know are just too damn lazy to learn anything -beyond- C. They just picked out the thinnest programming book at the store that they could find, read it a few times and spend the rest of their time telling programmers of other languages how great they are in comparison and jerking eachother off in their respective forums.
