UnKnown errors

I asked for help on my older version of this code just a minute ago, but I thought I figured out the problems. Know I'm not sure what the issue is.

CodeChallenge.cs 
string language = Console.ReadLine();

if(language == "C#");
{
    Console.Write("C# Rocks!");
}
else();
{
    Console.Write("The Cake is a Lie");
}

you've been not asked to do an else, hence you have to take the else completely out.
in if and else conditions, you should not end with a semicolon

string language = Console.ReadLine();

if(language == "C#")
{
    Console.Write("C# Rocks!");
}

I tried that before I did the Else and it says it typed Bugus and it still printed C# rocks!

Hi Aly Khedr, 1) You're only asked to write the IF clause, not an IF ELSE. 2) The Else clause only needs the curly brackets, because it doesn't have any condition, the condition is on the if. It's means that the ELSE clause will be executed only if the IF evaluates to FALSE.

To write an else, the code will be like this

string language = Console.ReadLine();

if(language == "C#")
{
    Console.Write("C# Rocks!");
}
else
{
    Console.Write("This languaje is not C#");
}

try this

string language = Console.ReadLine();

if(language == "C#")
{
  System.Console.WriteLine("C# Rocks!");
}else{
  System.Console.WriteLine(language + " is not C#.");
}
