Not sure what to do here.

Think about how to properly declare a variable and variable scope, then fix the following code so that it compiles. Be sure to not change the intent or intended behavior of the code.

Program.cs 
using System;

namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(input)
        {            
            input = Console.ReadLine();

            if (input == "quit")
            {
                string output = "Goodbye.";
            }
            else
            {
                string output = "You entered " + input + ".";
            }

            Console.WriteLine(output);
        }
    }
}

Try below code. Carefully observe how I am using the input and output variable as compared to yours.

using System;

namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main()
        {            
            string input = Console.ReadLine();
            string output;

            if (input == "quit")
            {
                output = "Goodbye.";
            }
            else
            {
                output = "You entered " + input + ".";
            }

            Console.WriteLine(output);
        }
    }
}
