Unsure about what to do

The text of the question is not so clear! After creating the first method i don't understand what i am asked to do!

Program.cs 
using System;
using System.IO;

namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    public class Program
    {
        public static void Main(string[] arg)
        {

        }

        public static ParseWeatherForecast(string[] values)
        {
        return WeatherForecast;
        }

        var weatherForecast = new WeatherForecast 

    }
}
WeatherForecast.cs 
using System;

/* Sample CSV Data 

weather_station_id,time_of_day,condition,temperature,precipitation_chance,precipitation_amount
HGKL8Q,06/11/2016 0:00,Rain,53,0.3,0.03
HGKL8Q,06/11/2016 6:00,Cloudy,56,0.08,0.01
HGKL8Q,06/11/2016 12:00,PartlyCloudy,70,0,0
HGKL8Q,06/11/2016 18:00,Sunny,76,0,0
HGKL8Q,06/11/2016 19:00,Clear,74,0,0
*/

namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    public class WeatherForecast
    {
        public string WeatherStationId { get; set; }
    }
}

:point_right: There's a lot of instructions, try taking them one at a time.

Some of the issues you still need to address are:

  • you need to create your new variable inside the method
  • you forgot to include the parentheses with your constructor call for the new variable
  • you forgot the semicolon (;) at the end of the line when you create the new variable
  • you forgot to give your new method a return type
  • you still need to assign the WeatherStationId property using the correct item of the values array
  • you need to return the new variable and not the generic class

Hopefully you can get it now.

Got it!

using System;
using System.IO;

namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    public class Program
    {
        public static void Main(string[] arg)
        {

        }

        public static WeatherForecast ParseWeatherForecast(string[] values)
        {
        var weatherForecast = new WeatherForecast{WeatherStationId = "HGKL8Q"};

        return weatherForecast;
        }
    }
}
