Can't get around the CS0103 error.

I wrote mine exactly like his, but it keeps giving me the error that "the name 'system' does not exist in the current context." Which it clearly does.... sooo is there a bug?

Ryan;

Welcome to Treehouse!

Are you using system or System? Capitalization makes a difference. :wink:

Happy coding,
Ken

I quite literally wrote everything EXACTLY as it was given in the instruction. The spaces, capitalization, and symbols are all the same.

Post the code you are using, or a link to your workspace for people to take a look at your code.

Thanks,

System.Console.Write("Enter how many minutes you exercised: ");

Not sure how to post a link to the workspace... but here's the code they wanted.

Maybe https://w.trhou.se/rtvvm6aeqx is it??

Nevermind, I ended up re writing the script on the framework "given" with the workspace. I would probably make sure there isn't more errors in any other scripts. This one was easier to find... but man... kinda ironic.

Thanks anyways though.

In my view, the best thing would be to install Visual Studio and then to write and run the code in the video. It is not difficult to manage this in the Visual Studio. It takes some time to install it, but ... C# is unthinkable w/out Visual Studio.
