Treehouse TeacherHi there! The problem lies in the string that you're printing in the else statement. You seem to understand that you need a space, but seem unsure how to do it. Right now, if I were to send in "Java", your code would print out:
Javais not C#.
But we would want it to print out:
Java is not C#.
Note the space between the value of language and the rest of the string. To do this, we can simply add an extra space in our string literal.
Console.WriteLine(language + " is not C#.");
This would print out the language we typed in with the appropriate spacing. Remember that when you print the value of a variable, no spacing is implied. If you want spacing, you have to explicitly put it somewhere.
Hope this helps!
