What's wrong?

There are many possible problems. Ask yourself these questions and you might find that they shed some light on your issues:

Did you try to compile code consiting solely of pseudo-code?
Were you drunk when you wrote the program?
Is the fact that you even wrote the program simply a manifestation of your imagination?
Did you type the code with your toes?
Did you use voice-recognition software to enter the code into your PC?
Was your PC switched on when you entered the code?
Are you running Microsoft Windows 95/98/Me? (This is actually the most common cause of programs not working properly.)
 
You know what's sad, is after reading several posts already that were 'seriously' asking the same type of general vague question, that it actually took me a minute to figure out someone was joking about others posts. Nice. :)

Easiest and cheapest solution is to change your expectation to match what your program does. Maybe you like unhandled exceptions, a bit of chaos in an otherwise unchanging life? This way, nothing is wrong.

A bug is more desirable when it's labeled a feature. ;)

I worked at a company that called them programming opportunities. I always liked that.

My friend was tech support for Sim City 2000 or 3000 (I can't recall). They had an issue where planes were flying through buildings on the beta build. The tech support was sent a memo to describe this as a technological feature, rather than a bug. :D
