In trying to set constant variables to get rid of "Magic Number" I wrote the following code. I removed the "private" designator originally like the original constant revenue but go the same response when I asked it to check my work. This should have been simple, I thought, so must be missing something.
The response I keep getting from the Checker is "BUMMER - Did you set a constant variable for 100000?" ?!
Also, I'm checking the box to include my code. Last time it didn't include my code?!
const int revenue = 125000;
private const int _lowRevenue = 100000;
private const int _medRevenue = 150000;
private const string _lowIndicator = "red";
private const string _medIndicator = "yellow";
private const string _goodIndicator = "green";
string status = null;
if (revenue < _lowRevenue)
{
status = _lowIndicator;
}
else if (revenue < _medRevenue)
{
status = _medIndicator;
}
else
{
status = _goodIndicator;
}

Also, the challenge doesn't seem to like the extra space between "int" and "_lowRevenue".
