I know the problem but I do not know how to fix, so it works the same way as i intended to.

using System;

namespace ReadlinPractice
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            string passWord = "pass123";
            string userName = "user";
            Console.WriteLine("Please enter your username below!");
            string userName2 = Console.ReadLine();
            do
            {
                Console.WriteLine("User not found! Please re-enter your username");
                string userName4 = Console.ReadLine();
            }
            while (userName4 != userName);
        }
    }
}

I want it to loop "User not found! etc" while im typing a non-exisiting username, but i cant make it work since i cant use userName4 outside of the 4th curly brackets (dont remember what its called (parameters?)), how can i work around this.

You declare it outside of the loop and use it inside.

string userName4;
do
{
  Console.WriteLine("User not found! Please re-enter your username");
  userName4 = Console.ReadLine();
}
while (userName4 != userName);

Didn't work or i misunderstood

using System;

namespace ReadlinPractice
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            string passWord = "pass123";
            string userName = "user";
            Console.WriteLine("Please enter your username below!");
            string userName2 = Console.ReadLine();
            string userName4;
            do
            {
                Console.WriteLine("User not found! Please re-enter your username");
                string userName4 = Console.ReadLine();
            }
            while (userName4 != userName);
        }
    }
}

I did this, and i tried putting string userName4; in the do aswell but it just created more errors.

What error message? You must not declare it inside the loop. Only outside.

It's been a while since I last programmed in C# so I don't remember if it requires variables to be initialized. If it does, just initialize it to an empty string.

string userName4 = "";

It has to be done outside of the loop.
