My syntax for strings looks correct but keeps giving me an error

The compiler keeps giving me an error by I typed it the same way the previous exercise showed how. What am I doing wrong?

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

Its because the type string should be in lower case. C# is case sensitive.

Not quite sure, your code looks like it would work in Visual Studio. Sometimes the Treehouse code challenge compiler can be super picky though. You have to get it EXACTLY right. This works:

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