2,269 Pointshelp with C# if/else challenge
i might be miss understanding the challenge.
The following table describes my room temperature preferences. Print the message from the table when a user enters a number in the corresponding range. For example, if temperature is 21 the code should print "Just right." to the screen. Temperature (°C) Message Less than 21° Too cold! 21° to 22° Just right. Greater than 22° Too hot!
string input = Console.ReadLine();
int temperature = int.Parse(input);
if (temperature < 21) {
System.Console.Write("Too cold!"); }
else (temperture = 21) {
System.Console.Write("Just right."); }
else if (temperture > 22){
System.Console.Write("Too hot!"); }

- an else statement takes no conditional expression
- an "else if" cannot follow a plain else
- you spelled "temperture" (missing an "a") in two places
- you have an assignment operator ("
=
") where you probably want a comparison ("==
") - check your conditions, what happens when the temperature is exactly 22?
And a suggestion: if you handle the "too hot" and "too cold" cases first, a plain else could cover everything else.

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

2,269 Pointshow do i put 21 & 22 in else?
string input = Console.ReadLine(); int temperature = int.Parse(input);
if (temperature < 21) { System.Console.Write("Too cold!"); } else if (temperature > 22) { System.Console.Write("Too hot!"); } else (temperature == 21) { System.Console.Write("Just right."); }

It doesn't need one since it handles all conditions not already covered by the previous if and else if statements.
