7,427 PointsConsole.WriteLine = (firstName); Says left hand side must be variable or property
I don't understand what I'm doing wrong here
string firstName = Console.ReadLine();
Console.WriteLine = ( firstName );

equal to firstName
which is an invalid operation, since Console.WriteLine
is a method. Instead you pass a parameter to the method inside the parentheses. Remove the equal sign and the spacing and you should be good.
Console.WriteLine(firstName);
