I Keep on getting this error.

I am trying to compile my script but I keep on getting this error:

Program.cs(8,7): error CS0246: The type or namespace name String' could not be found. Are you missingSystem' using directive?

I made sure there is nothing wrong because I copied the instructors code and pasted it and the error still came up. What can I do to fix this?

I guess it should be just string.

Without seeing your code I have to guess, but I have two of them:

  • you forgot to put "using System;" at the top of your source
  • you spelled "String" with a capital "S" where it should be "string".

Oh hold on now its starting to work. I think it was the fact that I put a capital S. Thanks
