Yes, here is his example program: 

#include<stdio.h> 
#include<stdlib.h> 
int main() 
{ 
        char card_name[ 3]; 
        puts("Enter the card_name: "); 
        scanf("%2s", card_name); 
        int val = 0; 
        if (card_name[0] == 'K') ( 
                val = 10; 
        } else if (card_name[0] == 'Q') ( 
                val = 10; 
        } else if (card_name[0] == 'J') ( 
                val = 10; 
        }else if (card_name[0] == 'A') ( 
                val = 11; 
        }else ( 
                val = atoi(card_name); 
        } 
        printf("The card value is: %i\n", val); 
        return 0; 
        } 

Look at this line, for example: 

        if (card_name[0] == 'K') ( 

My guess is that you typed this in by hand, and didn't see clearly 
that the last character should have been an open brace '{' rather 
than an open parentheses '('. It looks like you've made the same 
error in several other places.
