error CS0019: Operator '>' cannot be applied to operands of type 'method group' and 'int'

I'm confused on what I'm doing wrong here.

Program.cs 
using System;

class Program
{

    static string CheckSpeed(double speed)
    {
        if (CheckSpeed > 65)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("too fast");
        }
        else if (CheckSpeed < 45)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("too slow");
        }
        else
        {
            Console.WriteLine("speed ok");
        }
    }

    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        // This should print "too slow".
        Console.WriteLine(CheckSpeed(44));
        // This should print "too fast".
        Console.WriteLine(CheckSpeed(88));
        // This should print "speed OK".
        Console.WriteLine(CheckSpeed(55));
    }

}

  1. CheckSpeed is the name of your method not the name of the argument to the method.
  2. That method (CheckSpeed) has a return type of string which means you can cw(console.write) but that is not what this is asking you to do. you need to return a value.

Good Luck!

Inside your method you are calling your method again instead of checking against the parameter.

Your code check for your if statements needs to be checking against speed not CheckSpeed.

    if (speed > 65)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("too fast");
    }
    else if (speed < 45)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("too slow");
    }
    else
    {
        Console.WriteLine("speed ok");
    }

Also are you your console statements are both places now.. are you intending to return the string from the function if so you need to do that and not console write.
