Cannot implicitly convert type void' to
string'?
using System;
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
class Program
{
static void Main()
{
string input = Console.ReadLine();
string output = Console.WriteLine();
if (input == "quit")
{
output = "Goodbye.";
}
else
{
output = "You entered " + input + ".";
}
Console.WriteLine(output);
}
}
}

This line is the problem in your code. Per challenge description
Declare the output variable just before the if statement and assign it to an empty string (i.e. "").
You should declare output variable and assign an empty string as its value; not Console.WriteLine()
.
