Define a Quote method that accepts a string parameter. It should return that same string, but surrounded by double quotes. For example, Console.WriteLine(Quote("When you learn, teach. When you get, give.")) should print "When you learn, teach. When you get, give." (Note that the output is surrounded by quotes.)
Code:
using System;
class Program {
// YOUR CODE HERE: Define a Quote method!
static void Main(string[] args)
{
// Quote by Maya Angelou.
Console.WriteLine(Quote("When you learn, teach. When you get, give."));
// Quote by Benjamin Franklin.
Console.WriteLine(Quote("No gains without pains."));
}
}

231,235 PointsIt doesn't look like you've started yet. Here's some general hints:
- start by creating the basic method structure: define return type, name, argument, body area
- in the body area, use the argument that was passed and add quote marks around it
- you can do this with your choice of technique: template string, concatenation, string formatting, etc.
- then "return" the new string
If you need help with a specific part of the task, be sure to show your code. It's also helpful to provide a link to the course page you are working with.
