28,558 PointsYour code is fine, the problem is your quote marks. I assume you copy pasted the “ rocks!” bit from the challenge description. The problem is that the quote marks used in the challenge description are not normal quote marks. They use a LEFT DOUBLE QUOTATION and a RIGHT DOUBLE QUOTATION mark. Which are basically just special stylized quote marks that more advanced text editors sometimes use to make the quote marks look nicer.
For coding you have to use a standard run of the mill quote mark, so just replace the quotes in your code with standard ones like this:
string firstName = Console.ReadLine();
Console.WriteLine(firstName + " rocks!");
And try to avoid copying challenge text again, or at least only copy the text itself, not the quote marks.
