I dont think its about the code because sometimes it happens and sometimes does not

using System;

namespace Treehouse.FitnessFrog
{
  class Program
  {
      static void Main()
      {
        int runningTotal = 0;
        bool keepGoing =  true;
        while(keepGoing){
          Console.Write("Enter how many minutes you exercised or type q: \n");

          string entry = Console.ReadLine();

          if(entry == "q"){
            keepGoing = false;
          }
          else{
            int minutes = int.Parse(entry);
            runningTotal += minutes;
            Console.WriteLine("Youve exercised" + minutes + "minutes");
          }
        }

      }
  }
}

Erdem,

Just to clarify, if you compile and execute this code in Workspaces using mcs Program.cs && mono Program.exe, you'd see the output ":7:1R" written to the console before being prompted for your input?

Thanks ~James

Erdem,

Are you using Workspaces or Visual Studio? Also, are you still experiencing an issue with this code?

Thanks ~James

I was using workspaces and the problem continued for a while. Then I stopped using workspaces and now using sublime/terminal. I guess there is a problem with workspaces.

Thanks for your concern,

Erdem
