Why does this exercise make me use {} in the if and else statement if they’re just one line of code each one? Isn’t just skipping the curly brackets possible if there is only one line of if statement?
namespace StringTheException
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string args)
{
Console.Write("Please input: ");
string input = Console.ReadLine();
if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(input)){
Console.WriteLine(“You didn’t enter anything!”);
}
else{
Console.WriteLine(“Thank you for your submission!”);
}
}
}
}
When I try to run this I get a huge error for some reason. I can’t see any difference between what I did and the solution the lesson gives. Can someone help me?
