Close! You simply need to initialize the firstName variable to the string, and you only need to use the concatenate operator (+) to pass this challenge.
string firstName = Console.ReadLine();
Console.WriteLine(firstName + " rocks!");
Hope this helps!

There are a few issues in this code.
- the first line should be assigning the variable firstName (not entry)
- the second line is missing a semicolon (;) at the end
- for task 3, you'll concatenate the word " rocks!" to firstName inside the call to WriteLine
- the third line has a syntax error but is not needed for the challenge

16,170 PointsSteven and James are right. You simply were trying to take the long way about it. All you need to do is assign the firstName variable to the ReadLine method, and then call it when you concatenate the WriteLine method.
