I am struggling with this challenge on C#.....HELP!!!

I don't understand why the ELSE function will not work with the remainder of the code, I am god smacked.

CodeChallenge.cs 
string language = Console.ReadLine();

if(language == "C#")
{
  System.Console.WriteLine("C# Rocks!");
  {
else
  }
   System.Console.WriteLine(language + "is not C#");
}
if ( language!= "cheese")
{
  System.Console.WriteLine("Cheese is not C#");
}
}

You're pretty close. Here are a few hints:

  • the braces on either side of your else are pointing the wrong way
  • you can remove everything related to testing for "cheese" and below, it will be covered by the else above
  • you are missing a space at the beginning of " is not C#"

Take a close look at your code.

There is something wrong with your brackets. You also don't need the second if and there is an extra bracket there.
