First task of the if conditional statements on the C# basics track?

I have tried multiple times, but it won't let me complete it.

Perhaps we can help if you include your code here so we can take a look.

Also, please provide a link to the course page you are working with.

string language = Console.ReadLine("C#"); language = "C#"; if (language == "C#") { Console.WriteLine = ("C# Rocks!"); }

We're all students here, you should be able to ask any genuine question here without concern for judgments. :smile:

OK, here's a few hints:

  • it looks like you added an argument to the ReadLine call, but ReadLline does not take any arguments
  • since you want to test what was read, you will not want to assign something else to language
  • there's a stray equal sign ("=") between WriteLine and the parentheses holding its argument

In future, please use the instructions in the Markdown Cheatsheet (found below "Add an Answer" :arrow_heading_down:) to format your code for easy readability.
