How do I use an if statement correctly?
<p>I am not able to get this to run, because of the 1st line in the <code>if</code> statement. I am sure something needs to be converted, but I am not sure what.</p>

<h3>My code:</h3>

<pre><code>using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;

namespace xx
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {

           string userInput;
            Console.Write("what number do you choose: ");
            userInput = Console.ReadLine();

            if (userInput &gt; 100)
                Console.WriteLine("I hate myself");
            else
                Console.WriteLine("I love myself");


        }
    }
}
</code></pre>
