Bug in Question 2

The following code is a copy and paste of the instructor's notes from the previous video. It should work, am I missing something?

CodeChallenge.cs
string bookTitle = System.Console.ReadLine();

Your code for task 2 is correct, but you should take a look at the notice that is written right above the challenge area when you do tasks. It states:

In each task of this code challenge, the code you write should be added to the code from the previous task.

It's not the most straightforward sentence, but in essence it is trying to tell you that when doing multi-task challenge on Treehouse you have to keep all of the code from previous tasks in order to advance to the next step.

So while your solution does solve the requirements laid out in task 2, you cannot complete the challenge because you removed the code you wrote in task 1. If you add the code from task 1 back again like this:

System.Console.Write("Enter a book title: ");
string bookTitle = System.Console.ReadLine(); 

Then you will be able to complete the challenge.

The code I posted is the solution to this challenge so it definitively works, I have verified that myself on numerous occasions. If you need help with this exercise you'll need to be a bit more specific about what your issue is, and what your code currently looks like.

Ideally you should also create your own post for this issue, asking for help in old posts isn't the most efficient way of getting help. If you make a new post there will be more people that will see it, and therefore you will likely get help faster than by posting about the issue here.
