Code challenge two is giving me trouble from my understanding it should look like this: status = "your status" commit here

5,680 PointsHey Aaron, the instructions for that challenge are very specific. Take a look at them again for a hint; you are declaring the variable properly. ;)
Jason Loughry
5,680 PointsHint: To get the challenge right, it matter what you declare as the variable.

Courses Plus Student 1,126 PointsHey Jason,
I'm fairly new to Ruby on Rails but yes of course I've tried to answer the second challenge several times just can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.
Jason Loughry
5,680 PointsDon't worry, you just have to make sure that you declare the variable the exact way that it says at the top of the challenge:
Add a new variable called "status" and give it the value "I'm on the internet."
If you follow that, it should work.

Courses Plus Student 7,386 PointsLook at the variable on the first line and you'll see how it should look, and then look in between the parenthesis in the instructions and you'll see what you have to put. Just remember to copy it exactly as you see it.
