Using ToUpper method

Get Help C#
#1

Hi, if we want to have user’s answer all uppercase, why this works

Console.Write("YES or NO: ");
string noiseChoice = Console.ReadLine();

and this does not

Console.Write("YES or NO: ");
string noiseChoice.ToUpper() = Console.ReadLine();

You are saying change noiseChange to upper case before you’ve even stored any value in it. How does that make sense?

Aside, you can only really assign/change variables on the right hand side of the = sign.
