Challenge Task 1 of 1 Fix the code so that it compiles, but don't change the intent of the code.

I am having trouble with this Challenge Task 1 of 1.

Fix the code so that it compiles, but don't change the intent of the code.

My code is incorrect and I'm not sure what I need to do next to fix it?

Program.cs 
using System;

namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main()
        {            
            input = Console.ReadLine()

            if (input == "quit")
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Goodbye.");
            }
            else
            {
                Console.WriteLine("You entered " + input + ".");
            }


        }
    }
}

Looks like you need to set a variable type for input. Try using var.

Hello Mark,

You're missing the type for variable "input" as well as an ending semicolon after the ReadLine method. Once you make these changes you should be able to pass the challenge.

I hope this helps.
