Why am I getting the message: "Bummer! Did you include the boolean expression to evaluate?" if my code is correct? I am getting the message: "Bummer! Did you include the boolean expression to evaluate?" if it is obvious that I did use the boolean expression?

- the result of the ternary is being assigned to "result" instead of "textColor"
- the ternary has assignments inside it instead of just the values
