i have the correct code, but still no result

I have the method correctly written and the escape sequence used for double quotes = \".

but result says otherwise

Program.cs 
using System;

class Program
{

    // YOUR CODE HERE: Define a Quote method!

    static string Quote(string q1)
    { 
        return q1;
    }

    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        // Quote by Maya Angelou.
        Console.WriteLine(Quote (" \"When you learn, teach. When you get, give.\" "));
        // Quote by Benjamin Franklin.
        Console.WriteLine(Quote(" \"No gains without pains.\" "));
    }

}

What does your result say? For your code I get 2 quotes listed out as follows.

"When you learn, teach. When you get, give."

"No gains without pains."

We called Quote("Patrick, I don't think wumbo is a real word."), but we got a return value of: 'Patrick, I don't think wumbo is a real word.'. We were expecting '"Patrick, I don't think wumbo is a real word."'.

This is what I get as a result

If you get that response then please post your actual code

I wrote similar code as Mohammed and got the same message about "wumbo". That message that he posted on May 1 also appears as the "Bummer" message.
