3,499 PointsVariable Scope Code Challenge
I am stuck on this code challenge and cant seem to figure out what it is wanting me to do.
If I run the code as is I get "Program.cs(19,12): error CS1524: Unexpected symbol Console', expecting
catch' or `finally'
Compilation failed: 1 error(s), 0 warnings"
If anyone can help me understand this i would greatly appreciate it.
using System;
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
class Program
{
static void Main()
{
input = Console.ReadLine();
try
{
if (input == "quit")
{
string output = "Goodbye.";
}
else
{
string output = "You entered " + input + ".";
}
}
Console.WriteLine(output);
}
}
}

For a "try" block to be effective, and to compile correctly, it would be followed by a "catch" block. But adding "try" and "catch" is not part of this challenge.
This challenge is about fixing errors in variable scope. Look for places where a variable is used in one scope but declared in another, or declared more than once.
