When the code is that weird, sometimes the error messages don't make sense :)

A few problems I see:

  1. At the end of your case "d": block, you have a } where there was no previous {. Unless there is code in your case "d": block that you're not showing us, then you can just delete that }.
  2. In your default: block, you're starting with an else if, where there was no if before that. You can only use else if after an if. Unless there's code you're not showing us, then you can change the else if to just if.
  3. There's no } at the end, to close the else block.
  4. You still need a break; at the end of the default: block.
