Without seeing your solution, I would point out that this challenge is looking for three possible outcomes. You could test for each condition separately, like this:

if (value < MINIMUM) { ... }  // too low
if (value >= MINIMUM && value <= MAXIMUM) { ... }  // in between
if (value > MAXIMUM) { ... }  // too high

or, you could check just two conditions and rely on else to handle the third, like this:

if (value < MINIMUM) { ... }  // too low
else if (value > MAXIMUM) { ... }  // too high
else { ... }  // in between

Either method works, but the latter is a bit more efficient.

You need to write the if / else if / else statements to match the tables in the challenge.

string input = Console.ReadLine();
int temperature = int.Parse(input);
if (temperature < 21)
{
  Console.WriteLine("Too cold!");
}
else if (temperature > 22)
{
  Console.WriteLine("Too hot!");
}
else 
{
  Console.WriteLine("Just right.");
}
