(value < 0) ? textColor = "red" : textColor = "green";
int value = -1;
string textColor = null;
(value < 0) ? textColor = "red" : textColor = "green";

I haven't taken this C# course, but usually I write the C# ternary this way.
textColor = (value < 0) ? "red" : "green";
Hope you find it helpful.

7,814 Pointsbut the question is very vague, I don't know why this wouldn't pass. This is my biggest complaint about treehosue. You get an error some times for no rhyme or particular reason.
