Declare a string variable named bookTitle. (Don’t assign it anything.) ??? (confused)

So, I was confused on this because I put string bookTitle = ; as the answer but it's not working. I'm stuck. Thank you.

CodeChallenge.cs 
string bookTitle = ;

Your very close with this one.

The challenge specifically asks not to assign anything to it therefore there is no need to add the equals sign at all only declare the variable.

string bookTitle;

This will give you the result you need

This also translates to other programming languages.

Essentially this sets the value to NULL or undefined (language dependent).

If it's an array or object that you need, I will usually equate it to an empty [] or {} so that I know the variable's type.

In this instance, string bookTitle; is the correct one.
