Stuck and need a little help

Stuck on this, it tells me that if bogus is entered it would still return (I am aware it says testing)

CodeChallenge.cs 
string language = Console.ReadLine();
if (language == "C#");
{
    Console.WriteLine("testing");
}
else

The instructions say, "Write code to print “C# Rocks!” to the console if language equals “C#”."

As it is now, the only message you'll get is "Bummer: Your code could not be compiled.". There are a few issues:

  • there should not be a semicolon between the "if" statement and the code block
  • the WriteLine contains the wrong message
  • an "else" must be followed by a statement or code block (but you don't need it for this challenge)
