Use the System.Console.ReadLine method to read the user’s response from the console and store it

this is what I wrote:

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

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

Hi Gerald,

I feel you may have misinterpreted the instructions for the Second Task.
The task wants you to store the resulting input from the user into a variable named bookTitle. Right now, you have just the input, but it isn't assigned to anything. Also, you have the start of a variable initialization up top that the instructions did not ask for. Also, it is incomplete, as it has no assigned variable name, just type.

You have the first task correct :thumbsup: and the correct method for the second task. All that is needed is the variable assignment.

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

Hope this helps.
Keep Coding! :) :dizzy:

Thanks Jason!!
