Code Challenge.cs problem

Can you point out what is wrong with my code?

CodeChallenge.cs 
using System;

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


            if (temperature < 21)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Too cold!");
            }
            else if (temperature >= 21 & temperature <= 22)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Just right.");
            }

            else if (temperature > 22)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Too hot!");
            }

Hey John! Change your last else if statement to else and add an extra '&' in your else if statement and you should be good to go. You always want to end with an else statement- also remember with that else statement you don't need a conditional as it is serving everything 'else' not already found in the above two. Hope this helps.

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


            if (temperature < 21)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Too cold!");
            }
            else if (temperature >= 21 && temperature <= 22)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Just right.");
            }

            else 
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Too hot!");
            }

Travis,

Did you try Ford's suggestion? Did that work for you?

Thanks, James
