Hi,

I am trying to create a condition statement. But when executing this block of code I receive an error stating that string to bool conversion cannot be done implicitly.

userInput = Console.ReadLine();

if(userInput = "")
{

userGravity = 9.80d;

Console.WriteLine("Gravity has been defaulted to 9.8 m/s^2");
}
else
{
userGravity = double.Parse(userInput);
}

userGravity = double.Parse(userInput);

Can someone please exaplaim the problem and show me the right way!

Thx.
 
== is for comparison as it is an overload for .Equals()

= assigns a value to the variable
