Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 8,040 PointsI am not sure if you are having trouble with the step "Variables" or "Console I/O" but to declare a variable in C# you first specify the type and then the name of the variable. The first line in your code is wrong as it is trying to give the type a value instead of the variable. This is the correct way to declare a variable:
string bookTitle;
If you want to use the input value from the console as the variables value you do exactly as you've written in your post:
string bookTitle = System.Console.ReadLine();
If you instead want to use the variable as an output to the console you need to pass that variable to the function System.Console.Write(), like this:
System.Console.Write(bookTitle);
Did this help with your problem?
