Why does my a.Replace() method not work here??

Question

static void Main(string[] args)
{
string a = "love you";

a=a.Replace(" love" , "hate");

Console.WriteLine(a); }
//output love you.....why it didnt replace love with hate to give output of " hate you"?
Please help me here....

That's right John Doe's Johnny
Thankfully this was a small code, so finding it with only our eyes is still possible : )

DataStream Cowboy ,
It didn't work because string <a> doesn't contain " love" (notice the space before the 'love'). It will work if you wrote:

a = a.Replace("love", "hate");

Again, notice there shouldn't be any space before the word 'love'.

(Edit)
To have " hate you" as output, you place the space before the word 'hate' as follows:

a = a.Replace("love", " hate");
