838 PointsI've only been able to fix one part of this after a week
I just need the answer so I can look at it and understand where I was confused.
using System;
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
class Program
{
static void Main()
{
string input = Console.ReadLine();
if ( input == "quit")
{
string output = "Goodbye.";
}
else
{
string output = "You entered " + input + ".";
}
Console.WriteLine(output);
}
}
}

There however are two issues here.
Remember, Jeremy said in the previous video that if you define a variable in a block, the variable can only be accessed inside that block. The output
variable is defined inside the if
block. (And also in the else
block.)
You have to define this variable before the if
/else
code is run.
Thankfully, blocks inside of blocks can access outside blocks. So for example, if we defined a variable in the Main()
method, but not in the if
statement, it would be access-able in the if
statement's block.
You might need this before the if
condition:
string output;
Also, in the if
and else
blocks, you can't define the same variable again, so you remove the string
s from the lines. This tells C# you want to modify a variable, and you don't want to define the same variable again.
I hope this helps.
If you don't pass after reading this and fixing your code, you may reply with your new code snippet and I'll try to help more.
Happy C0D1NG!
