C++ "Exprected primary-expression before >= token"?

// CODE

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int ageCalc (int year) {

int x = 2013;

int y;

y = x - year;

return(y);

}

int main() {

int birthYear, res;

cout << "What year were you born? ";

cin >> birthYear;

res = ageCalc(birthYear);

if (res >= 21) {

cout << "Let's grab a beer!";

}

else if (res <= 21 && >= 18) {

cout << "You can fight in the army.";

}

else if (res < 18 && >= 16) {

cout << "You can drive now!";

}

else {

cout << "You're just a kid.";

}

}

//CODE

On the lines with the &&'s it's saying that, what's happening?

    It's just a simple syntax error, you're missing the variable name. It should be:

    else if (res <= 21 && res>= 18) {

    ...also a couple of lines later....

    else if (res < 18 && res >= 16) {

    C++ is not English. You can't write code the way you would speak it in English. >= is a binary operator. >= 18 makes no sense. You need both operands, res >= 18.
