Since it's a windows system...

CODE

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void) {

  system("shutdown");

  return 0;
}

Sorry... I was trying to find the header that is required by system, but I ran out of time. Maybe it's windows.h?

it will not let me compile the program.

Alternately you could make the program create a text file and save it as a filename.bat which contains:
CODE
shutdown -s

And execute that from the program. The other way is better this is just a different method if you wanted.
