Added this code for code challenge, but the system tells me it is incorrect.

What is incorrect about this code??

CodeChallenge.cs 
class CodeChallenge
{
    static void Main()
    {
        String firstName = System.Console.Readline();
    }
}

you don't need to declare a class or a main method, just initialize the variable. type varName = Console.ReadLine().....you don't need system in front of console, and it needs to be typed exactly as they have it.
