6,848 PointsI am stuck at the ternary if coding challenge because the 'code checking algorithm' doesn't recognize the solution
Even though my solution is correct I am always getting the error: Bummer! Did you include the "red" and "green" string literal expressions (separated by a colon) to the right of the ternary operator?
Can anybody help me fix this?
int value = -1;
string textColor = (value < 0) ? textColor = "red" : textColor = "green";

6,848 PointsI managed to find the solution it turns out its: int value = -1; string textColor = (value < 0) ? "red" : "green"; Its pretty obvious since the challenge asks to initialize the textColor variable to red or green and not to set it. They should definitely change the error message though.
