470 PointsI don't know what I did wrong. My code should see if the string Language is equal to "C#" and then write what C# rocks!
I sort of wrote everything in the title.
string language = Console.ReadLine();
if(language == "C#")
{
Console.Write("C# Rocks!")
}

The line with the Write should end with a semicolon (";").
When something goes wrong, many times you can get some information that will help fix it by hitting the Preview button. This is particularly true when it says your code "could not be compiled." In this case, the Preview showed the error message: "error CS1002: ; expected".

229,732 PointsAhh, you added two semicolons, one in the right place, and another in a wrong place.
There should not be a semicolon between the conditional expression of the if statement and the open brace of the code block.
