QuestionAn 'If' statement before my char declaration is not allowing my program to compile......why? Pin

When I try to compile my code I get this error message:
@: gcc -o hw3 hw3.c
hw3.c: In function `main':
hw3.c:20: parse error before `char'
hw3.c:31: `buff' undeclared (first use in this function)
hw3.c:31: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
hw3.c:31: for each function it appears in.)

The error occurs because of my if statement.
When I place the if statement after the char declaration it works, also when I remove the if statement it compiles and works fine.

if(argc == 1){
printf("Error: hw3 <buffersize>");
return 1;
}

Also for a plain "if(){}" as well.

How do I get around this?

#include 
#include 
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char * argv[])
{
	//our file references and read and write counts
	int fileread, filewrite;
	ssize_t nread, nwrite;

	if(argc == 1){
		printf("Error: hw3 <buffersize>");
		return 1;
	}

	//our buffer size is determined by the user
	char buff[ (int)argv[2] ];

	// open 128kB file for reading
	// create if it doesn't exist copy.bmp for writing
	fileread = open("128kB.bmp", O_RDONLY);
	filewrite = creat("copy.bmp", O_WRONLY);

	//copy all of the contents of the file	
	while(1)
	{
		//read data from the input file and place in the buffer
		nread = read(fileread, buff, sizeof(buff) );

		//if no information left to read, exit while loop
		if (nread == 0) break;

		//write the data from the buffer into the output file
		nwrite = write(filewrite, buff, sizeof(buff) - 1 );
	}

	//close the files
	close(fileread);
	close(filewrite);

	return 0;
}</buffersize></stdio.h></fcntl.h>




I am using a putty terminal connected to a unix machine.
