Courses Plus Student 2,492 PointsCould someone tell me what is wrong in my answer?
My answer to the challenge:
string input = Console.ReadLine(); int temperature = int.Parse(input);
if(temperature <= 20)
{
System.Console.WriteLine("Too cold!");
}
else if(temperature < 23)
{
System.Console.WriteLine("Just right.");
}
else()
{
System.Console.WriteLine("Too hot!");
}
The error I get:
StudentsCode.cs(18,13): error CS1525: Unexpected symbol `)' StudentsCode.cs(18,14): warning CS0642: Possible mistaken empty statement Compilation failed: 1 error(s), 1 warnings
string input = Console.ReadLine();
int temperature = int.Parse(input);
if(temperature <= 20)
{
System.Console.WriteLine("Too cold!");
}
else if(temperature < 23)
{
System.Console.WriteLine("Just right.");
}
else()
{
System.Console.WriteLine("Too hot!");
}

You have the explanation and the line of error right there. Else doesn't have any input paremeters. Remove the parentheses.
