stuck again...

I can't get my code to compile after I moved all my if/else if/if statements into my try{}catch{}. I'm not sure what I need to add or remove.

Hi Jon,

I found these issues in your code:

  • the catch block should directly follow the try block
  • the catch block should be at the same level as the try block (not inside another block)
  • C# is case sensitive, so console.WriteLine needs to be Console.WriteLine
  • you were missing some ending braces (or had stray open braces)

You can see the code with those issues repaired in my answer to your other post.
