Cannot see my error

Following will not compile. Says error "public" unexpected so I removed it then says "static unexpected

using System; using System.IO;

namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges { public class Program { public static void Main(string[] arg) { WeatherForecast weatherForecast = new WeatherForecast();

        public static WeatherForecast ParseWeatherForecast(string[] values)
        {
            weatherForecast.WeatherStationId = values[0];
            return weatherForecast;
        }
    }
}

}

You've got the right stuff, but it needs a little re-arranging:

  • the "ParseWeatherForecast" method should be a peer to the "Main" method (not inside it)
  • the "weatherForecast" variable should be instantiated inside the "ParseWeatherForecast" method

Fix those and you should pass.
