I can't figure out why my answer isn't correct.

I have gone over this as many ways as I can think of and I'm still getting errors...please help me.

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

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

A plain "else" statement (the last one) does not take a conditional expression. It doesn't need one since it handles any case not already covered by the "if/else if" chain.

else
{
    Console.WriteLine("Too hot!");
}

Thank you! I actually figured that out very shortly after I posted this :)

I'm not sure what you mean by "you guys". I'm another student like yourself, so it's "us guys". :smile:

And I may be on frequently, but definitely not "24/7"! But there's a lot of students, and from many countries, so there's a chance of a quick reply from someone at nearly any time.
