void main() is not C++. In C++, main returns an int.

int password (a = 1234); Are you trying to set the variable a with a value, or create a new variable, or both, or what?


If that while is meant to be the end of a do-while loop; if you indent your code properly, you will see that you have got your braces wrong. The do loop isn't closed properly, and also you're missing a semi-colon after the while.

It's hard to understand the meaning (or even the intended meaning) of this code without proper indentation. If you use code tags [code]like this[/code] - use the <> formatting button on the right, it will help.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
void main()
{
    char User_Name [30];
    char Ic_Number [30];
    char House_Name [30];
    double Come_Back_Time;
    int a;
    int password (a = 1234);
    int *ptrPointer;
    ptrPointer = &a;

    do { 
        cout<<"Please enter your password :";
        cin>>a;
        cout<<"True"<<endl;

        cout<<"Enter the User_Name :";
        cin>>User_Name;

        cout<<"Enter your Ic_Number :";
        cin>>Ic_Number;

        cout<<"Enter the House_Name :";
        cin>>House_Name;

        cout<<"Your Come_Back_Time is :";
        cin>>Come_Back_Time;

        cout<<"\n\n\t\t\t\t Welcome "<<User_Name<<endl;
        cout<<"\n\t\t Your Ic Number is :"<<Ic_Number<<endl;
        cout<<"\n\t\t Your Come Back Time today is :"<<Come_Back_Time<<endl;

        if (Come_Back_Time <= 17.00)
        {
            cout<<"\n\t\t You are :Early"<<endl;
        }
        else
        {
            cout<<"\n\t\t You are :Late"<<endl;
        }
        
        while (a!=1234)
            cout<<"Try again"<<endl;
    }
}

Now - it can be seen that there is a do-while loop which starts on line 14 and ends on line 46. But there is no "while" at line 46.

It should be something like this:

do 
{
    // some code 
} while(condition);

Also lines 44-45 are a while loop which controls a single cout statement . This is probably not what was intended.
