4,767 PointsWhich boolean expression must I include to evaluate?
I believe I have correctly converted the if else statement into a ternary if statement, however I am marked as incorrect with the message
"Bummer: Did you include the boolean expression to evaluate?"
I am unsure of which boolean expression should be included, and no such expression is mention in the question.
int value = -1;
string textColor = null;
textColor = "red" ? value < 0 : textColor= "green";

231,198 PointsThere are a few issues with the syntax:
- there should only be one assignment operator (
=
) on the line (before the ternary) - the ternary should have the comparison first (before the
?
) - after the
?
, there should be two values (not complete statements) separated by a colon (:
)
You should pass easily once you've fixed these.
