stuck in this challange anybody help how to output parentheses in C#
Bummer! For the property's return value, are you returning the 'Title' property value followed by the 'Publisher' property value in parentheses (i.e. "Super Mario 64 (Nintendo)")?
namespace Treehouse.Models
{
public class VideoGame{
public int Id {get ; set ;}
public string Title {get ; set;}
public string Description {get ; set; }
public string []Characters {get ; set;}
public string Publisher {get ; set;}
public string DisplayText {
get{
return ////stuck here
}
}
}
}

Treehouse Guest TeacherHello Albert,
To return a concatenated string you'll need to do something like this.
public string DisplayText
{
get
{
return PropertyA + " (" + PropertyB + ")";
}
}
I hope this helps.

229,744 PointsYou're so close! You only need to combine the strings along with some parentheses (and a space). There's a few ways to do that. The most basic way would be with string concatenation:
return Title + " (" + Publisher + ")";
On the other end of the scale would be a single-line expression-bodied computed property with string interpolation:
public string DisplayText => $"{Title} ({Publisher})";
Either will pass the challenge, but the latter is probably a bit beyond the scope of the course.

19,291 PointsThe problem on this challenge is that in the question, the line breaks so that one cannot tell if there is a space after the Title or not. So, not adding the space-- " (" -- does not pass the test.
