My character going left but not going right (CONSOLE GAME) - c++

Question

I working on my project this project have a frame to [100] x [25] matrix and i try to add animation but my character is going left but it's not going right.
i tried with "counter" variable but its not work.
int counter = 1;
int counter2 = 1;
int left_border = 1;
int matris1 = sizeof(map)/100;
int matris2 = sizeof(map[0])/4;
int startx = 19;
int starty = 8;
while (true)
...
int right = 0, left = 0;
...
for (int a = 0; a < matris2; a++)
cout << "\n#"; //i have this because i make it square map.
for (int k = 0; k < matris1 - 2; k++)
{
if (left == 1)
{
if (((startx+2)-counter) == left_border)
{
counter = 0;
//cout << "SINIR!!"<< endl ;
}
if (k == (startx-counter) and a == starty)
{
counter += 1;
cout << "O";
}
else {
cout << " ";
}
}
else if (right == 1)
{
if (k == (startx+counter2) and a == starty)
{
counter2 += 1;
cout << "O";
}
its need to be going right but its not.

The code is very difficult to follow - you should have a coordinate system. I've made a simple example below. Update the player coordinate when a key is pressed and redraw the map x by y position, if the player is there then draw the 'O', otherwise if its a wall draw an 'X' (in this case), otherwise draw a space ' '.
using namespace std;
#include <iostream>
#include <conio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#define MAPW 15 // map width
#define MAPH 15 // map height
int map[MAPW][MAPH];
#define WALL 1
#define EMPTY 0
void initmap()
{
// just set the map to have walls around the border
for (int x = 0; x < MAPW; x++)
{
for (int y = 0; y < MAPH; y++)
{
if (x == 0 || y == 0 || x == (MAPW - 1) || y == (MAPH - 1))
map[x][y] = WALL;
else
map[x][y] = EMPTY;
}
}
}
int px = MAPW / 2; // player x
int py = MAPH / 2; // player y
void main()
{
initmap(); // initialize map
cout << "Press A/W/S/D to begin and move";
while (1)
{
if (kbhit()) // key pressed?
{
switch (getch()) // which key?
{
case 'a':
if (px > 0 && map[px - 1][py] != WALL) // can go left?
px--; // update x coordinate
break;
case 'd':
if (px < (MAPW-1) && map[px + 1][py] != WALL) // can go right?
px++; // update x coordinate
break;
case 'w':
if (py > 0 && map[px][py - 1] != WALL) // can go up?
py--; // update y coordinate
break;
case 's':
if (py < MAPH && map[px][py + 1] != WALL) // can go down?
py++; // update y coordinate
break;
}
// update map - clear screen and redraw
system("CLS");
// draw map each line
for (int y = 0; y < MAPH; y++)
{
for (int x = 0; x < MAPW; x++)
{
// its a wall?
if (map[x][y] == WALL)
cout << "X";
else
{
// is the player there?
if (x == px && y == py)
{
// draw the player
cout << "O";
}
else // empty space
cout << " ";
}
}
// next line
cout << "\n";
}
}
}
}
