method

tried regular print statement System.WriteLine(); print ("enter this"); this also did not work.

CodeChallenge.cs 
System.Console.Write();
string entry = System.Console.ReadLine("Enter a book title:");

Hi,

they are asking you to write "Enter a book title: " not "Enter a book title:" as you wrote it ;)

It looks like you have a few things to fix:

  • the string to output should be the argument to the Write method on the first line
  • as Daniel observed, you're missing the space at the end of the string
  • the ReadLine method takes no arguments
  • the challenge asked you to create a variable named "bookTitle", but you have "entry" instead
