read number of arguments in c shell

I am writing script in c shell and using this script to read the command line arguments, but it is not working. Pl. someone let me know what is the problem.

#!/bin/csh -f
if ($#argv <> 2) then
echo "you must give exactly two parameters"
else
set name1 = $argv[1]
set name2 = $argv[2]
endif
