First, you have mis-spelled temperature. Second, you are using a single equal sign (=) instead of a double equal sign(==) to attempt a comparison. Single equal is for assignment, double equal is for comparison. Finally, you cannot perform a logical comparison in the format you have listed. The variable must be checked against each value individually. If you wanted to perform the comparison you are attempting, it would need to look like this:
else if (temperature == 21 || temperature == 22)
{
stuff inside...
}
Finally, you do not need to include any conditions in an else clause (ie. you leave out the temperature > 22) as it will be executed if all the preceding clauses are false.
Personally, the way I would write this code as follows:
if (temperature < 21)
{
too cold
}
else if (temperature > 22)
{
too hot
}
else
{
just right
}

10,810 Pointsjust eyeballing it looks like your issue is on this line:
else if(tempearature = 21 || 22)
there are 2 issues here. the first is the '=' is the assignment operator not comparison, you will want to change that to '=='.
secondly when you want to chain logic you must repeat the variable. so to check if temp is 21 or 22 you would write the code like.
temp == 21 || temp == 22
if changing this doesnt work please post the error you are getting
