You should use the reverse for loop;

Try this code for your task (see highlighted line #10):

using System;
 
class NumbersFromNToOne
{
    static void Main()
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Please write your number: ");
        int n = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
 
        for (int i = n-1; i >= n-5; i--)
        {
            Console.Write("{0} ",i);
        }
        Console.WriteLine();
    }
}

Thank you so much sir _/\_

The first i MUST BE n-1 and the whole reverse for loop will look like this:

for (int i = n-1; i >= n-5; i--) {
Console.Write("{0} ",i);
}
