I did explain and answer this question for you HERE. While you did correct the conditional statement, you are still trying to throw the exception incorrectly. Please refer to your original post and my original reply and re-read my explanation on how the exception throw needs to be coded.

If you're still getting stuck, I strongly recommend reviewing the Throwing Exceptions Video. starting at ~2:30, where Jeremy explains the syntax for throwing exceptions.
