I do not understand whats the error message. It doesn't make any sens to me.
string input = System.Console.ReadLine();
int temperature = int.Parse(input);
if(temperature<21)
{
System.Console.WriteLine("Too cold!");
}
else if(temperature<=22)
{
System.Console.WriteLine("Just right.");
}
else(temperature>22)
{
System.Console.WriteLine("Too hot!");
}
```Error :
StudentsCode.cs(19,4): error CS1525: Unexpected symbol `{'

In this case you can simply remove the condition and your code will work fine since the previous statements cover temperatures equal to and below 22. Like this:
string input = System.Console.ReadLine();
int temperature = int.Parse(input);
if(temperature<21)
{
System.Console.WriteLine("Too cold!");
}
else if(temperature<=22)
{
System.Console.WriteLine("Just right.");
}
else
{
System.Console.WriteLine("Too hot!");
}
