main() "doesn't exists" - can't return

Hi everyone, i'm a beginner in C++ and wanted to create something very simple...
Now my compiler tells me that he can't return from int exit(); to int main(); because it "wasn't found".
May you can search the code for an error i made. The web didn't offered any useful answers to me...

A program is not allowed to call the main() function don't do it. If you want to call a function before it has been defined you have to declare it before using it.
