I'm in the beginning stages of the C# course and mono Program.exe does not return any result. The code is correct. For example:
treehouse:~/workspace$ mono Program.exe (Enter)
returns: treehouse:~/workspace$
it does not return the string that's been coded:
System.Console.Write("Enter how many minutes you exercised: ");

The work that involved Write() was done in task 1.
In a multi-task challenge, instead of starting over for each task, you continue working where you left off. Unless the challenge asks you specifically to change something previously done, the work you did in the other tasks will remain as-is while you add more code for each following task.

2,514 PointsWell, for some reason it started working.
I've got an issue though with one of the challenge questions. I feel like my answer is either correct, OR I've not learned this yet.
Question: Use the System.Console.ReadLine method to read the user's response from the console and store it in a variable named bookTitle.
I wrote:
string bookTitle = System.Console.ReadLine();
It says this is incorrect and asks, Are you calling the 'Write()' method as specified in the instructions?
The instructions don't specify the Write method. It specifies using the method I used ('ReadLine').
What am I doing wrong here?

2,514 PointsThank you Steven for your patience. I did actually see that part of the instructions in smaller print, but I don't think I've learned yet from the lessons how to answer this question. i.e. using both the Write and the ReadLine. I'll keep playing with it. Thanks again. Jim

2,514 PointsSTEVEN! I get it now! It was definitely me not quite understanding we keep the Write line from the previous question and add the ReadLine, as you would in a normal Class. I just finished the SQL class and everything tested was separated. Thank you so much.
System.Console.Write("Enter a book title: "); string bookTitle = System.Console.ReadLine();
This of course worked.
