guyzz it is a program in which i have combined 2 other programs..
after the first cout , when i enter the number of the conditional operator , it is closing down.. automatically.. i mean the application window.
the 2 programs are
wheither a triangle is valid [for 1]
2 tell the triangle type[for 2]

tell me what i have done wrong!!

You have

if (q=='1')

which should be if (q == 1)

What you are doing is comparing q to the char 1, not the number 1, which you should be doing.

Same with

if (q=='2')
