Code Challenge help! cannot get the code to work. what am i doing wrong?

have changed this numerous times and am continually getting compiler errors. is probably really simple and right in front of my face but i cannot get it to run. :)

CodeChallenge.cs 
string input = Console.ReadLine();
int temperature = int.Parse(input);

if (temperature < 21)  
{
Console.WriteLine("Too cold!");
}
  else if (temperature < 23) 
  {
  Console.WriteLine("Just right.");
  }
  else (temperature >= 23)
  {
  Console.WriteLine("Too hot!");
  }

It´s because of the else, you dont need to set a conditional statement for else. gl :)

string input = Console.ReadLine();
int temperature = int.Parse(input);

if (temperature < 21)
{
Console.WriteLine("Too cold!");
}
else if (temperature < 23)
{
Console.WriteLine("Just right.");
}
else
{
Console.WriteLine("Too hot!");
}
