I am also having trouble understanding the two errors.

Perhaps if you told us the errors, they would be easier to understand.

I will say that a do-while loop looks like this:

1
2
3
4
 
do 
{
  // things to do
} while (some condition);


and yours looks nothing like that.

The error is intelliSense: expected a } at line 104 and
error C1075: end of file before the left brace '{' at line 105

The error is that your do-while loop is a mess and just plain wrong.

The while isn't connected to the do block. It's meant to be. Your left and right braces are a mess. Use indentation so you can see what you're doing.
