Buggish problem

i got a "Bummer i entered \" 21 \". i expected \"Just right\", But got \"Just right\" ."

CodeChallenge.cs 
string input = Console.ReadLine();
int temperature = int.Parse(input);

if(temperature < 21)
{
Console.WriteLine("Too cold!");
}
else if(temperature >= 21 || temperature  <= 22)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Just right");
}
else
{
 Console.WriteLine("Too hot!");
}

this error code from the grader points out the 1st bug in your code. Your String "Just right" is missing a . full-stop at the end.

2nd issue is this conditional temperature >= 21 || temperature <= 22, if you wanna check for temp in the range between 21 ~ 22, the correct comparison operator to use here is && not ||.

hope it helps.
