code not working

I keep getting this error message

"StudentsCode.cs(19,0): error CS1525: Unexpected symbol `{' StudentsCode.cs(19,1): warning CS0642: Possible mistaken empty statement Compilation failed: 1 error(s), 1 warnings

I cannot find the error. I looked over my code a dozen times now.

CodeChallenge.cs 
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 (temperature > 22)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Too hot!");
}

Here is your problem: else (temperature > 22)

The else means everything else so there's no reason to put (temperature > 22) which is unexpected and is causing the error.
