I'm having a hard time with my code, can someone show me a fix? Here is my errors.

	 END LOOP (depth == 0);

} // end main function

int area (int l, int w) {
	
	int calculation;

	int area (l * w);

	return calculation;
	
} // end area function

int volume (int l, int w, int d) {

                int calculation;

                int volume (l * w * d);

	return volume;

} // end volume function

The first two are because you have local variables in main( ) with the same names as your functions - the compiler looks to the nearest defined name (the int's), which are not functions.

What are these lines supposed to be doing?

while (depth == 0);
END LOOP (depth == 0);

Ok I see get rid of the repeated int area; and int volume;.
The

while (depth == 0);

is a while/repeat loop so that it continues
until you want it to stop.

The

END LOOP (depth == 0);

is suppose to be the End of the loop structure. Any suggestions with this?

There is no ending item for a loop in c++. The loop executes a statement, or block of statements. Period.

while (something == true )   //no semicolon here
{
    //do statements here
}  //closing curly brace ends the loop block
