You need to take language + out of the quotes. Right now, your code would output language + is not C#. Your code should look like this:

System.Console.WriteLine(language + " is not C#");

Hope this helps!

Hi Yashoda.

In your code all of your string is with ". 

System.Console.WriteLine ("language + is not C#");

You need to seperate the variable, "language" and the string you write out yourself.

So it looks like this

  System.Console.WriteLine(language + " is not C#");

Here is full code.

string language = Console.ReadLine();

if(language == "C#")
{
  System.Console.WriteLine("C# Rocks!");
}
else
{
  System.Console.WriteLine(language + " is not C#");
}
