It's hard to tell what the problem is. Where are the "cv.h" and "highgui.h" files? Can you post the complete error message here?

What is the compiler error? No one is going to type in your code and try to compile it.

You measure democracy by the freedom it gives its dissidents, not the freedom it gives its assimilated conformists.

highgui.h and cv.h are headers from the openCV[^] library. Asmaa, if there is a compile error you will need to tell us what it is. We aren't psychic.

do you have opencv installed on your system?

if(no){install opencv;}

add opencv include and source directories to your compiler setting and at the end add the libraries in your project setting
