Here's a few hints:
- you're trying to fix the code, not change functionality, so you won't need try or catch
- check that all variables are declared before they are used (or at the same time they are initialized)
- remember that a variable can be declared only once, but it may be assigned many times
- check that all variables are declared in the widest scope in which they are used
- be sure to use the preview button to see the complier errors for more hints

Console.WriteLine(output);
