THE RIGHT CODE?

Whew, I struggled with this code challenge question for some reason (I'm going to blame it on the fact that I'm horribly sick at the moment ;) I tried out the code above just to get past the question, and it did work. Which is strange, because the code is completely wrong.

I went back to try my hand again and figured out where I went wrong. 1. I messed up creating the variable. Instead of writing $time: morning; I had written $time == morning; getting to involved in the operands. 2. still not completely sure about this, but originally I had written the strings using quotation marks like "morning" but ending up switching to an unquoted way. 3. I also made the sloppy mistake of using a # instead of $ for one of my variable names. So check your work!

In the end the code below worked. First, set the variable of $time. Then, and you want to keep this DRY and concise, define an anchor tag and write the if/else statement within.

I hope this helps others understand this code challenge if you too are running into issues!

$time: morning;

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