I'm not certain but I think in C# the condition in your if statement has to be contained in (). And there definitely shouldn't be a semi-colon at the end of the if condition. Also, I don't see any variable called michael, so perhaps you meant for it to be a string? Try this

if (firstName != "michael") 
{
// Your code here
}

static void Main(string[] args) { string firstName = System.Console.ReadLine(); System.Console.WriteLine("hello " + firstName + "how are you?");

        System.Console.WriteLine("My firstname is" + firstName);

        if (firstName != "michael")  // here

        {
            System.Console.WriteLine("this is not your account please exit");
        }

        Console.ReadLine(); // just to see message before exiting
    }

you forgot the " on micheal. like this

if (firstName != "micheal");

you wrote

if (firstname) != micheal;
