C++ MUD help

[theillbehaviore]

Hey, im making a very basic MUD and developing a movement system prototype.
When a player moves into a different room the "location" integer is changed and depending on that number, the while statement will switch to that room. I only made one while statement and im already getting error messages. Please help.

#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    char n, s, w, e;
    char command;
    int location = 1;
    while(location == 1){
             cout<<"Obvious Exits: East, West, North, South\nThis is a large damp room\nThere is a steel flaming sword on the ground\n";
             cin>>command;
             if (command == e) {location = 2);
             else if (command == w) {location = 3};
             else if (command == n) {location = 4};
             else if (command == s) (location = 5};
             else {cout<<"That is not a command\n";
             
    
}   
   
   
   
    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

And so on

your braces are out of order. best I can tell, with the non aligned braces, you have while { if{ }end while } end program with the if bracer never paired up.

Personally, I always type open and close of anything as a pair right away and then go back between them so they never misalign.
