5,090 PointsNot sure about this. I need some help, please.
I'm not entirely sure where my error is for this challenge. I'm on part four and part four says: "Underneath the previous code, store the value "morning" in a variable named $time. Then write an if/else directive that will color all <a> tags. If the variable $time is equal to "morning", the color should be red. Otherwise, if the variable is "afternoon", the color should be blue. Finally, if the variable is set to anything else, the color should be gray."
When I check my work it says "Bummer! The color should be set to red."
Here is my code:
@mixin cars($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:gray;} } }

any text that is stored in some type of variable is wrapped in quotes
