How does this code make no sense?

So I'm doing this coding challenge and it says the following error:

StudentsCode.cs(16,24): error CS1525: Unexpected symbol `{' StudentsCode.cs(16,25): warning CS0642: Possible mistaken empty statement Compilation failed: 1 error(s), 1 warnings

I have no idea where the error(s) are and I need someones help. Any ideas.

CodeChallenge.cs 
string input = Console.ReadLine();
int temperature = int.Parse(input);

if (temperature == 21) { 
    Console.WriteLine("Just right.");
}
else if (temperature <= 20) {
    Console.WriteLine("Too cold!");
}
else (temperture => 22) {
    Console.WriteLine("Too hot!");
}

:point_right: The final else should have no parameters.

You could show the conditions it covers in a comment if you want:

else /*(temperture => 22)*/ {

You also have an issue with your range, but I'll bet you can solve that yourself. Hint: try checking the high and low ranges first, and leave the middle for the final else.

Thank you so much! I would have been stuck there forever without your help!
