The problem is your else-statement - else-statements does not like to get a condition.

else
{
    System.Console.WriteLine("Too hot!");
}

I would also take a look at the conditions passed to the if and else if statement.

if(temperature < 21) // if the temperature is LESS than 21
{
    System.Console.WriteLine("Too cold!");
}
else if(temperature < 22) // if the temperature is LESS than 22
{
    System.Console.WriteLine("Just right.");
}

thanks alot
