How do I place redstone with a command block?

Question

I am playing Minecraft on the Nintendo Switch and I am trying to place redstone with a command block and I keep getting this message.

Command:

/setblock 716 14.5 -247 Redstone

Error message:

Syntax error: unexpected "Redstone":" at 14.5-247 >> Redstone <<"

It would be clearer if you posted the error message you got and your command as text, rather than a blurry photo of your screen. — pppery, Commented Jun 17, 2020 at 23:14
the command is /setblock 716 14.5 -247 Redstone and the error code is Syntax error: unexpected "Redstone":" at 14.5-247 >> Redstone <<" — Alex, Commented Jun 17, 2020 at 23:33

Here are the problems with your command:

Redstone is not a valid block ID. The correct ID is redstone_wire.
Decimals don't matter in your command. Using /setblock 716 14.5 -247 redstone_wire is the same as writing /setblock 716 14 -247 redstone. The command rounds your number down.

The "Redstone" needs to be lowercase. I don't remember if it's not "redstone" do "redstone_dust"
