Courses Plus Student 490 PointsI don't understand why input is not recognized when it's in the broader scope...
I'm still getting the error that input isn't declared, but it's at the very beginning of the Main method...so I'm not clear why.
using System;
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
class Program
{
static void Main()
{
input = Console.ReadLine();
if (input == "quit")
{
string output = "Goodbye.";
}
else
{
string output = "You entered " + input + ".";
Console.WriteLine(output);
}
}
}
}

is only being assigned at the moment.
To be declared, it would need to be preceded by a type, or at least the keyword "var".
Also, if you move the WriteLine into the else block, you are changing the intent of the program. To preserve the original intent you'll need to make sure output
is only declared once, and in the outermost scope where it used.
