2,720 PointsWhy do this keep erroring out? I have tried multiple ways of working this code and nothing has worked.
--C#
string input = Console.ReadLine();
int temperature = int.Parse(input);
if(temperature <= 21);
{
Console.WriteLine("Too cold!");
}
else if(temperature <= 22)
{
Console.WriteLine("Just right.");
}
else(temperature >= 22)
{
Console.WriteLine("Too hot!");
}--
string input = Console.ReadLine();
int temperature = int.Parse(input);
if(temperature <= 21);
{
Console.WriteLine("Too cold!");
}
else if(temperature <= 22)
{
Console.WriteLine("Just right.");
}
else(temperature >= 22)
{
Console.WriteLine("Too hot!");
}

Your first error is here on line 3. "if(temperature <= 21);"
if(temperature <= 21);
The error is the ';' semicolon. C# throws an error if you use a semicolon in a conditional statement.
Your second error on line 11.
else(temperature >= 22)
You cannot set a condition on an 'else' statement because the 'else' keyword is used when no other of your conditions has been met, and therefore shouldn't use a conditional.
The final result should be. I cannot remember the exercise, but if you need to test on "temperature >= 22" in the last statement, you should use an 'if else'.
string input = Console.ReadLine();
int temperature = int.Parse(input);
if (temperature <= 21)
{
Console.WriteLine("Too cold!");
}
else if (temperature <= 22)
{
Console.WriteLine("Just right.");
}
else
{
Console.WriteLine("Too hot!");
}
Good luck, and happy programming! :)

if(temperature <= 21);
{
Console.WriteLine("Too cold!");
}
else if(temperature <= 22 && temperature > 21) // You should use logical AND to specify it more.
{
Console.WriteLine("Just right.");
}
else
{
Console.WriteLine("Too hot!");
}

11,259 PointsAnd in Your code take care for that:
else if(temperature <= 22) { Console.WriteLine("Just right."); } else(temperature >= 22) { Console.WriteLine("Too hot!"); }
In that case the value 22 is can be applied both statement, at now just that switch wich comes first.
