I have the same code, and yes...I saved.
class Program
{
static void Main()
{
// Prompt the user for minutes exercised
System.Console.Write("Enter how many minutes you exercised: ");
// Add minutes exercised to total
// Display total minutes exercised to the screen
// Repead until the user quits
}
}
treehouse:~/workspace$ mcs
error CS2008: No files to compile were specified
Compilation failed: 1 error(s), 0 warnings
What is wrong here? I also couldn't get past the challenge on the next module. Please help.

Treehouse TeacherHi there! The problem isn't in the code, it's in the command provided in the terminal. The terminal error indicates this by saying that no files were provided. You called the compiler, but didn't tell it which file it's supposed to compile. The correct command is:
mcs Program.cs
On a side note: I added some markdown to your question so that it will render properly in the forums. Take a moment and check out the Markdown Cheatsheet link at the bottom of the "Add an Answer" section for instructions on how to do this for your posts on the forum.
Hope this helps!
