Help, I'm getting an error!

Hello, I currently watching videos for the C# Basics. I was following everything that the instructor was telling me and I got this error.

(Error CS0117 'string' does not contain a definition for 'entry')

Here is my code:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

namespace LearningCode
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            // Prompt the user for minutes exercised
            System.Console.Write("Enter how many minutes you have exercised: ");


            string.entry = System.Console.ReadLine();

            //Add minutes exercided to total
            //Display total minutes exercised to the screen
            //Repeat until user leaves the app
        }
    }
}

I assume you're intending to create a variable named "entry" that is of type "string". In that case you would separate the type and the name with a space instead of a period.
