          cout << "press Enter, then input your abort number!!!" << endl;
          cin >> n >> abort;
          If (abort>n)
          {
                cout << "ERROR!!! Make countdown > abort\n Reenter now... \n";
                cin >> n >> abort;
                }
         Do
          {
                cout << n << endl;
                If (n == abort)
                   cout << "ABORTED!!!"}
                   }While (n>0)}

What is the matter with this, I want the user to decide when to abort the countdown, please help :)

    cout << "press Enter, then input your abort number!!!" << endl;

    if (abort>n)
    {

		{
			cout << "ERROR!!! Make countdown > abort\n Reenter now... \n";
			cin >> n >> abort;
		}while (abort > n);
    }

    while (n >= abort)     //  changed code here
    {
        cout << n << endl;
        if (n == abort)
            cout << "ABORTED!!!" << endl;   // added line break here
        --n;
    }

	return 0;
