I want to check a string to an if value.

Question

I ask the user to enter a word. I have the word saved as a string. How to ( use an if statement to) check if the word entered is the the word I want the user to enter.
Eg
String yourName;
YourName = Console.ReadLine();
Console.WriteLine("your name is {0}", yourName);
If (YourName == Mike) //not sure
{ Console.WriteLine("You can enter");
}
Else
{ Console.WriteLine("your name is wrong");

I am getting an error.
What am I doing wrong

Answer 1

Yeah replace your if statment with this: If (YourName.Equals(“Mike”));

Answer 2

YourName.equals(“Mike”) will compare string words

Answer 3

This will go inside the if bracket?

Answer 4

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

namespace SoloLearn
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Console.WriteLine("what are you doing");
string stay;

stay = Console.ReadLine();

Console.WriteLine("you are {0}",stay );

if (stay.Equals(“exercise"));
{
Console.WriteLine("Well Done. You will get buff.");
}
