Use the concatenation operator + to append “ rocks!” to the end of the contents of the firstName variable and print it to the screen using Console.WriteLine

CodeChallenge.cs 
string firstName=Console.ReadLine();
Console.WriteLine( firstName + “ rocks! );

Hi Ashim,

You have to put another quote at the end of the string to close it off.

Also, it looks like you have a slanted quote there. You want to make sure you're using the normal straight quote.

Like the following,

Console.WriteLine( firstName + " rocks!");

Yeah that was the problem, because I just copied the string given in the question. Thank you so much.
