Could you check my work and tell me what is wrong with my code?

Question

I do not understand whats the error message. It doesn't make any sens to me.

CodeChallenge.cs

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 `{'
StudentsCode.cs(19,5): warning CS0642: Possible mistaken empty statement
Compilation failed: 1 error(s), 1 warnings

The problem is that else statements does not accept conditions. An else statement is automatically executed if the statements above it are not run. 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!");
}
