Need help with Ascii and counting characters

[SoundTheSurrender]

I need to write a program that will take input from the user and count them. I'm trying to compile this program but I can't get it to compile.

#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>



using namespace std;

int isAlpha(char ch);




int main()

{

char ch;

int alphaCounter = 0;

cout <<"Please enter a something";

cin.get(ch);

while (ch != '.')

{
while (ch!= '\n')

{

isAlpha(ch);





}



return 0;
}











while isAlpha(char ch)

{

if (ch >= 'A' and ch <= 'Z')


{

alphaCounter += ch;

}

else (ch>= 'a' and ch <= 'z')

{

cout <<"2222";

}



return 1;

}

you should check for EOL not a ".".

If it's not compiling, please list the compilation errors.

Also, use the 'attach code' box so it's formatted properly. Trying to read code with no indentation is painful at best.

Edit:

One obvious problem is that (if that is your full source) you didn't actually define the body of function 'isAlpha()'. Your braces also aren't balanced.

Your outer while loop in the main function is missing an ending curly bracket.

Your inner loop never gets another character.

Your cin.get needs to be within a loop somewhere to get the next entered character.
