Try removing the "private" before your constant declarations (to make them like how "revenue" was declared).

And — you're going to love this one — remove the space between "revenue1" and the closing parenthesis of the if conditional expression.

You might want to report that last one as a bug to Treenouse Support. It might even get you "a special Exterminator badge".

Steven is correct. Any space before or after the conditional expressions will fail the challenge. Ridiculous bug.
