on page 59-59 the code doesn't seem to be right
on
score = Convert.ToInt32(scoreAsText);
you forgot to add the word "int" before the word "score" or it wont work. but even if u do that. well anyways heres mine, it doesnt work. i enter 100 gives me a, i enter any other number still gives me a.

Console.WriteLine("Enter Your Score: ");
string scoreAsText = Console.ReadLine();
int showscore = Convert.ToInt16(scoreAsText);

int score = 100;

if (score == 100)
{
Console.WriteLine("A");
}
else
{

Console.WriteLine("B");
}

Console.WriteLine(showscore);
Console.ReadKey();

No, the code is right. The variable is declared up a little higher. On page 58, just inside of the Main method under that first comment. It doesn't have to be. You could declare the variable later on, where you did it. In retrospect, that's probably a bit more natural (declare it where it's first used) but the code in the book works just fine too.

Your code always sets score to 100. Since that's what the if statement is checking against, it will always be true. You've created that extra showscore variable and haven't used it. The two need to be the same thing. So either get rid of int score = 100; and change if(score == 100) to if(showscore == 100), or turn the two lines that say:

int showscore = Convert.ToInt16(scoreAsText);
int score == 100;

So that it's just:

int score = Convert.ToInt16(scoreAsText);
