Could you please help me to understatnd my mistake

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


if (language == "C#")

{
Console.WriteLine("C# Rocks!");
}

else

{
 Console.WriteLine(language +  "is not C#");   
}

Could it be that you're missing a space in your else output?

Simon McGuirk seems to be right (I verified). Just need to add a space in the output. However, the message I got when using your code seemed kinda messed up: 'I entered "bogus". I expected "bogus is not C#.", but got "pythonis not C#" instead.'

Sounds like a bug in the error message. You might want to report it to Support.

Actually got to this bit of the course. The requirements require the else output to display the language plus " is not C#." So you'll need to make sure that you add the space at the beginning of the string and full stop/period at the end " is not C#."

As for the issue the value being stored in language, this is being actioned by the test/code checker which I assume randomly assigns a different programming language to verify the else output.

Dear Simon,

Thanks, the issue was that I had to put space prior to "is" expression.

So simple!)))

Thanks for your support guys!)))
