why when i write mono Program.cs it saying File does not contain a valid CIL image.
here the code: class Program { static void Main() { // Prompt user for minutes exercised System.Console.Write("Enter how many minutes you exercised: ");
string entry = System.Console.ReadLine();
System.Console.Write(entry);
// Add minutes exercised to total
// Display total minutes exercised to the screen
// Repeat until user quits
}
}

To compile a C# source file, you would use the command: "mcs Program.cs
". If the compilation is successful, it would create a CIL image file named "Program.exe".
Then to run that compiled output file you would use: "mono Program.exe
".
