How is this code not being accepted?

I really don't understand how this code is not getting accepted. The constants are set and I used them in the if/else statement. When I go and check work, it asks me if I have deleted the revenue variable declaration, but I have. Unless it is playing mind games with me and actually needs revenue to be declared. Any help would be really appreciated as this has been the second time today that I have been generally stuck with these tasks.

CodeChallenge.cs
const int red = 100000;
const int yellow = 150000;

const string rR = "red";
const string yR = "yellow";
const string gR = "green";

if (red)
{
    rR;
}
else if (yellow)
{
    yR;
}
else
{
    gR;
}

You did create all the required constants, but instead of integrating them into the expressions by replacing the literals, you replaced the entire expressions with them.

:point_right: You still need the expressions that perform the comparisons and make the assignments:


:warning: SPOILER ALERT


CodeChallenge.cs
const int revenue = 125000;
const int red = 100000;
const int yellow = 150000;

const string rR = "red";
const string yR = "yellow";
const string gR = "green";

string status = null;

if (revenue < red)
{
    status = rR;
}
else if (revenue < yellow)
{
    status = yR;
}
else
{
    status = gR;
}

Thank you! Your last sentence actually pushed me forward to getting it right. I knew I was understanding it but I just didn't have it laid out correctly.
