How can I understand? At least write a little of your code.

I use visual studio. I leave the program by default with the start Console.WriteLine("Hello World"); but there is a line right below hello world which says Console.ReadKey();.When i delete this line of code the program starts and stop immediately.

That happens because the program has finished execution. The readkey function allows the program to wait for user input to complete execution

Do you use the playground or visual Studio. Can you share the code ? What happens if you do not use Console.ReadKey() ?

This is correct behaviour. When the program finishes, it closes the window. The computer cannot determine if you have read the result. So adding a additionel Console.ReadKey() is totally legal. Run the code with ctrl-F5 Will also do the trick
