5,354 PointsHi, Michael.
You have two problems in your code.
The first issue is in the code below contains a semicolon on a if statement, that syntax is invalid.
if(minutes <= 0);
The other issue is that you are missing a curly bracket at the end of your code.
Here is the correct code.
using System;
namespace Treehouse.FitnessFrog
{
class Program
{
static void Main()
{
int runningTotal = 0;
bool keepGoing = true;
while (keepGoing)
{
// Prompt the user for minutes exercised
Console.Write("Enter how many minutes you exercised or type \"quit\" to exit: ");
string entry = Console.ReadLine();
if (entry == "quit")
{
keepGoing = false;
}
else
{
int minutes = int.Parse(entry);
if (minutes <= 0)
{
Console.WriteLine(minutes + "is not an acceptable value.");
continue;
}
else if (minutes <= 10)
{
Console.WriteLine("Better than nothing, am I right?");
}
else if (minutes <= 30)
{
Console.WriteLine("Way to go hot stuff!");
}
else if (minutes <= 60)
{
Console.WriteLine("You must be a nija warrior in training!");
}
else
{
Console.WriteLine("Poop you! Stop showing off.");
}
// Add minutes exersiced to total
runningTotal = runningTotal + minutes;
// Add minutes exersiced to total
// Display total minutes exercised to the screen
Console.WriteLine("You've exercised " + runningTotal + " minutes!");
// Repeat until the user quits
}
}
Console.WriteLine("Cya later!");
}
}
}
