if/else Challenge 4 of 4 Don't get balancing if statement $time: morning; a { @if $t

My code is below, but the test says I need to equalize my == statement. I don't understand this. What is wrong? $time: morning; a { @if $time: == morning { color: red; } @else if $time == afternoon { color: blue; } @else { color: gray; }

/* Write your SCSS code below. / ....@mixin cars($make, $color) { .#{$make} { border: 1px solid black; background-image: url("#{$color}.png"); } } / here*/

$time: morning;

a { @if $time == morning { color: red; } @else if $time == afternoon { color: blue; } @else { color: grey; } } ..... /and here/

Hi Christopher,

below is the code needed to complete the challenge if you haven't already done so :)

/* Write your SCSS code below. */
@mixin cars($make, $color) {
    .#{$make} {
      border: 1px solid black;
      background-image: url("#{$color}.png");
    }
}

$time: morning; 

a {
  @if $time == morning {
    color: red;
  } @else if $time == afternoon {
    color: blue;
  } @else {
    color: grey;
  }
}

Hope this helps :)

Craig
