If you need anything printed, you need to add a print statement. Something like this

System.Console.WriteLine("is not C#");

instead of 
language = "is not C#";

or you can even do this ... 

language = "is not C#";
System.Console.WriteLine(language);

I am just pointing you into the right direction.  You choose.

Hello

the problem is in the else statement. else is executed when the condition in the if statement is not met. Therefore, else is what you want the code to do when if is by passed

string language = Console.ReadLine();

if(language == "C#")
{
  System.Console.WriteLine("C# Rocks!");
}
else
{
        language == "is not C#";
}

try this instead(please note the = insted of ==)

string language = Console.ReadLine();

if(language == "C#")
{
  System.Console.WriteLine("C# Rocks!");
}
else
{
        language = "is not C#";
}

If this answers your question, please mark the question as answered.
