Treehouse TeacherHi there! Your code seems to be a bit out of order, but I'm guessing that's because you've fiddled with it a good bit. It seems you got the first two/three steps correct, but in the last step you're actually redeclaring your variable (as denoted by the string in front). This is not needed. Take a look at my solution:
string bookTitle = "Whatever";
System.Console.Write("Enter a book title: ");
bookTitle = System.Console.ReadLine();
The last step will read in the string entered by the user from the console and assign it back into bookTitle. Hope this helps!

1,701 PointsHi Jennifer i have a question about your answer. Why declare the variable on the first row? I´m a beginner but as i see it one could omit the first step and do:
System.Console.Write("Enter a book title: ");
string bookTitle = System.Console.ReadLine();
Or am i missing something?
I guess if one wants to use bookTitle multiple times?

Treehouse TeacherJimmy Widlund you absolutely can do that! But take a look at the challenge
I did it this way because it more accurately reflects the order of the steps in the challenge. That's all!
