1) Console.WriteLine("Please enter your name"); 2) Console.ReadLine(); 3) name=Console.ReadLine(); You do that in line 3. Please remove line 2, it takes your input and does not do anything with it.

@Sneez yeah I get the window this is the code: Class{ main{ string name; Console.WriteLine("Please enter your name"); Console.ReadLine(); name=Console.ReadLine(); Console.WriteLine("Hello "+ name); } } pls is something wrong with the code? I get the window for the input but when I type in the name and run it prints only the " Hello".

@Jamie I tried assigning the user input to the string "name" so that whatever he/she types will be assigned to that string. or that's not how it works?
