Cant find the error in my code for this challenge.

completely stumped on this one, i cant find the error and i am not even sure if i am the challenge right in the first place.

CodeChallenge.cs 
string input = Console.ReadLine();
int temperature = int.Parse(input);
if (temperature < 21)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Too cold!");
}
else if (temperature == 21 or 22)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Just right.");
}
else if (temperature > 22)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Too hot!");
}

I see a couple of things here: this line else if (temperature == 21,22) has 2 values to compare, the syntax is incorrect if you wish to compare more values use the "and" "or" && || keywords. The last else if statement looks for a number equal or greater than 22, but the previous else statement is also looking for 22, so you need to rethink where the values should fall. I hope this helps, cheers.

Thank you so much, i kept focusing on the wrong things, it took me a while (and a little google) to figure out what i was doing wrong.

didn't realize i was supposed to put temperature in twice.
