So basically I'm creating a if / else statement and i get three errors:
error 1 = "Program.cs(15,85): error CS1009: Unrecognized escape sequence `\ ' "
error 2 = "Program.cs(15,85): error CS1056: Unexpected character `\0020' "
error 3 = "Program.cs(15,98): error CS1010: Newline in constant "
Would be helpful if anyone could tell me what's wrong :)
Code :
Thanks in Advance!

Console.Write("Enter how many minutes you have exercised or type \"quit"\ to exit: ")
The problem here is that you have you're second back slash at the wrong place, you simply have to put it before your "" 's:
Console.Write("Enter how many minutes you have exercised or type \"quit\" to exit: ");
So Like this: \"quit\"
Hope this helps!!
P.S. take a look at the bottom of the page, there's "Markdown Cheatsheet", it makes it easier to read your code.
