It says my error is can't convert void to int, but I didn't use void anywhere. What did I do wrong?

pls help

CodeChallenge.cs
string input = Console.ReadLine();
int temperature = int.Parse(input);
int temp = Console.WriteLine("Enter Temp.");
if (temp < 21){
Console.Write("Too cold!");
}
else if (temp <= 22){
Console.Write("Just right.");
}
else if(temp > 22){
Console.Write("Too hot!");
}

Hey Sammy,

You are definitely on the right track, and you have all the correct syntax, but there are just a couple of small things.

The instructions never asked for you to include a Console.WriteLine() or to create a new variable temp. So, that whole line needs to be deleted.

Next, the pre-loaded code includes a variable that will have the value that is passed in. It is the temperature variable, and this is the variable that needs to be checked against in your if and else if statements.

I've included the updated code, as you do have all the syntax correct for you to review. It's good to also remember that challenges and the instructions are very specific, and the code checker is very picky. Everything needs to be exactly as the instructions ask or you end up with the Bummer!.

string input = Console.ReadLine();
int temperature = int.Parse(input);

if (temperature < 21){
Console.Write("Too cold!");
}
else if (temperature <= 22){
Console.Write("Just right.");
}
else if(temperature > 22){
Console.Write("Too hot!");
}

Nice job and Keep Coding! :)
:dizzy:
