Help! It's Killing Me

[9wX36Up4]

İ don't Know english well so i will try to tell with my best.
I wrote these codes but it's sure it's not working well. And it's killing me that can't find what the problem is!!

#include<iostream>

using std::cout;
using std::endl;
using std::cin;

main()
{
      int a,d1,d2;
      char dice,startgame;
      
      cout<<"To Start Please Push A Button!"<<endl<<"Waiting..."<<endl;
      cin>>startgame;
      if(startgame=='a'||startgame=='A){
               cout<<"To Dice Please Push Button Z!"<<endl<<"Waiting..."<<endl;
               while(a=1;a<=1000;a++){
                   cin>>dice;
                   if(dice=='Z'||dice=='z'){
                           d1=1+(rand()%6);
                           d2=1+(rand()%6);
                           cout<<"     First Dice :"<<d1<<endl<<"    Second Dice :"<<d2<<endl;}
                   else
                           cout<<"Error :Only Z Button can dice"<<endl;
      else{
              cout<<"Wrong Button!!!"<<endl;
              return main();}
}

I just want to make a program that doing randoming two dice depend on a time 0<time<37

Well, it would help if you said what the problem is.
However, this is not a valid: main()
You forgot the return type, it must int main()

Nor is this valid: return main();
main() is not a regular function and you're not allowed to call it yourself.

i did what u said but it still giving errors Athar i need a detailed help.

Try to line up your code so it is easier to read, maybe space it out.
Then you can maybe see what is wrong, but the error codes should tell you what you need to do.
You are missing quotation marks and closing braces.

      {
               cout<<"To Dice Please Push Button Z!"<<endl<<"Waiting..."<<endl;
               while(a=1;a<=1000;a++)

                   {
                           d1=1+(rand()%6);
                           d2=1+(rand()%6);
                           cout<<"     First Dice :"<<d1<<endl<<"    Second Dice :"<<d2<<endl;
                   }
                   else
                           cout<<"Error :Only Z Button can dice"<<endl;
                   }
      }
      else
      {
              cout<<"Wrong Button!!!"<<endl;
              return main();
      }
}

I have turn it to this And it still gives error and the error is 'expected before token )' in line 17. I m saying i couldn't find the problem. i don't know enough becouse i m a beginner.

First of all don't use quote for code. Use code.

At line 17 you have a mutant while(a=1;a<=1000;a++). It should be a for.

[z05DSL3A]

You are missing a closing brace for the while loop and the while loop is some kind of love child of a for loop and a while loop.
