956 PointsConsole I/O task 2/2 I can't see what's wrong with my answer.
The task is: Use the System.Console.ReadLine method to read the user’s response from the console and store it in a variable named bookTitle.
And my answer is: string BookTitle = System.Console.ReadLine();
I can't see what I have done wrong.

The first task in the Console I/O challenge asked you to use System.Console.Write to prompt a user for their favorite book, since you removed that code the challenge will fail even if your code passes the second task.
Additionally the variable name being asked for "bookTitle" and the one you used "BookTitle" are not the same.
When you do challenges most variable names has to match exactly with the names that the challenge asks for, and variable names like most things in programming are case sensitive.
So you need to add the solution to the first task back to your code and fix the capitalization of your variable name, so that it looks like this:
System.Console.Write("Enter a book title: ");
string bookTitle = System.Console.ReadLine();
Edit: This answer was edited to merge my original answer and my later comment down below together, due to the fact that my original answer on its own seems to have caused some confusion.

642 PointsI understand up until this point, but I am having trouble with the next task: "Use the System.Console.ReadLine method to read the user’s response from the console and store it in a variable named bookTitle." My only clue is : "Enter a book title.".
