expected identifier or '(' before '~' token

Question

I encountered a problem while working on a project. I know there are many simillar questions that are answered, but regarding this special one I could not find any help. I am getting the following error:

Compiling main.c
main.c:42:1: error: expected identifier or '(' before '~' token
~
^
Makefile:47: recipe for target 'obj/main.o' failed
make: *** [obj/main.o] Error 1

EDIT: I deleted the last lines of the code, but the error still occures at the line after the last '}'.

The project is about the PageRank Algorithm, using options in the console for choosing what algorithm is wished to be used. I am trying to read or use the options in the command line, but the error stops me from even looking at the semantic of my program.

/*
* main.c
*
*Programmierung 2 - Projekt 2 (PageRank)
*/
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <getopt.h>

#include "utils.h" //is existing in the Directory


int main (int argc, char *const *argv) {
    //initialize the random number generator
    rand_init();

    printf("You gave %d command line arguments%c\n", argc-1, argc==1 ? '.' : ':');
    int graph;
    int i = 1;
    char * h = "-h show this help. \n";
    char * p = "...";
    char * m = "...";
    char * r = "...";
    char * s = "...";
    while ((graph = getopt(argc, argv, "hmprs")) != -1) {

        switch (graph) {
            default : printf("make -h | -m | -p | -r | -s "); break;
            case 'h' : printf("%s %s %s %s %s"), h, m, p, r, s); break;
            //this-like outcommended code like the one above
            //and again 
            //and once more
            //and a final one
        }
    printf(" - %s\n", argv[i]);
    i++;
    }
exit(0);
}

One more thing: I encountered a problem regarding the lengh of the case 'h' : printf(), so I outcoded the text in multiple chars. If you need more information about anything, ask me.

I got it now. My compiler (vim) added lines out of my sight. I used another editor and could delete the unnessecary code properly. Yes, was my bad all along. I am deeply sorry, it was a long day.
