When you ask a question, make sure you include as much detail as possible. Such as code, the issue you are facing, what you expect the result to be, what .NET version you are using and what platform/environment (if any) are relevant to your question. Upload code here https://paste.mod.gg/, save, and copy the link into chat for others to see your shared code! (see $code for more information on how to paste your code)
this is the task at hand

Input:
Output:
Precondition:
Postcondition:
and have test cases put out for it
and we have to use specific patterns
Like Counting, and Decision
We will not do it for you, we only help with certain questions (Q&A) and not entire tasks.
Start by making a console application and go your way forward. Split up the task into small tasks
okay so first i declare everything in the input like so
In: n ∈ N, m ∈ N, oxy ∈ N[1..n] nitro ∈ N[1..n], danger ∈ R[1..n, 1..m]
and its pretty obvious i need to use a counting pattern
so i came up with a pattern but im having issues getting it to work

Out: livablePlanets∈N
Pre: 1≤n≤100 and 1≤m≤10 and ∀i∈[1..n]:((1≤planetData[i].ox≤99) and (1≤planetData[i].nt≤99) and
∀j∈[1..m]:(0 ≤ dangerous ≤ 2))
Post: livablePlanets=COUNT(i=1..n, 19≤planetData[i].ox≤24 and 76≤planetData[i].nt≤81 and
∀j∈[1..m]:( dangerous ≤ 0.5))
this is what i came up with
Great!
Put it into code.
As Buddy says, get a console application running and start playing around with your proposed ruleset in the code
alr! lets give it a shot
i figured it all out
so i decided to make a structogram aswell and thats when it started clicking

and i followed along with code

For longer snippets, use: https://paste.mod.gg/Not a bad start. Note that you've got a lot of logic in your first loop to validate that the levels are all within the given ranges, but if they're not, you don't do anything different. So over half of your first loop makes no difference to anything.
Also, note that validating stuff is all well and good (although in this case I'd question whether you do need to validate that the levels are in the expected ranges: nothing in the task says you need to), but if you just silently reject bad data that leads to very confusing problems where stuff doesn't work and you don't know why. So if you're going to do validation, and something fails validation, at least output a message saying what failed and why
Programming languages also don't have a tax on characters.

is a lot clearer than d
, for example. Code gets read far more often than it's written, so making your code clear to the reader is one of the most important things you can doIsn't this a bit easier to read? https://paste.mod.gg/zgfxbxnteczp/0
