1,659 PointsI don't understand what i'm doing wrong, I tried to use if , else if , else but I still didnt work ... wtf...
How can it complain on else when im not even using else ...
string input = Console.ReadLine();
int temperature = int.Parse(input);
if(temperature <= 21){
System.Console.WriteLine("Too cold!");
};
else if(temperature >=21){
System.Console.WriteLine("Juste right");
}
else if(temperature > 22){
System.Console.WriteLine("Too hot!");
};

Remember, the editor is a program and can be very picky if you don't follow the instructions precisely.
More importantly, i.e., from a logic point of view, you have less than or equal 21 when it asked for less than, and you have greater than or equal to 21, which keeps the options from being mutually exclusive.
Try something like this instead:
if(temperature < 21){
System.Console.WriteLine("Too cold!");
} else if(temperature == 21 || temperature == 22) {
System.Console.WriteLine("Just right.");
} else if(temperature > 22) {
System.Console.WriteLine("Too hot!");
}
