string heightInput = Console.ReadLine(); int height = int.Parse(heightInput);

Why won't you accept this as resolution to the exercise

The 1st line of code given by challenge was.

string heightInput = "168";

Somehow you changed its value from 168 to 0, that's what's causing the code to fail, because altering the value of this variable has side-effect on the height variable on line 2 as well.
