I cant tell whats wrong with my code here it says unexpected '{'.
string input = Console.ReadLine();
int temperature = int.Parse(input);
if (temperature < 21)
{
Console.WriteLine("Too cold!");
}
else if (temperature > 21)
{
Console.WriteLine("Just right");
}
else (temperature > 22)
{
Console.WriteLine("Too hot!");
}

The "else" case is a default for all other cases, so you don't put a condition with that. (Alternatively, you could do another else if with another condition)

Remove the else in the middle so it goes if, if, else. Add a period to the Just right. Finally, you should modify your conditional statement for "Just right." to an && to get the range (21 >= && <= 22)
if (temperature >= 21 && temperature <= 22)
{
Console.WriteLine("Just right.");
}
Basically just replace your "else if" statement with that.

You were very close
I would suggest that for your 'else if' you only need to test for a value of 22 or less. Also the last 'else' will only be reached if the temperature is greater than 22 so you don't need the actual test.
These challenges can be very picky. So make sure that you have got the period after "Just Right"
if(temperature < 21){
Console.WriteLine("Too cold!");
} else if (temperature <= 22){
Console.WriteLine("Just right.");
} else {
Console.WriteLine("Too hot!");
}

Courses Plus Student 12,188 PointsI'm a student but i think in an if statement you can not write a condition in the else
must be
else
{
// Code
}
with out a condition (true)
if you need it then use else if
else if (temperature > 22)
{
Console.WriteLine("Too hot!");
}
