How is this code not being accepted?

Question

I really don't understand how this code is not getting accepted.  The constants are set and I used them in the if/else statement.  When I go and check work, it asks me if I have deleted the revenue variable declaration, but I have.  Unless it is playing mind games with me and actually needs revenue to be declared.  Any help would be really appreciated as this has been the second time today that I have been generally stuck with these tasks.
```CodeChallenge.cs
const int red = 100000;
const int yellow = 150000;
const string rR = "red";
const string yR = "yellow";
const string gR = "green";
if (red)
{
    rR;
}
else if (yellow)
{
    yR;
}
else
{
    gR;
}
```

You did create all the required constants, but instead of integrating them into the expressions by replacing the literals, you replaced the entire expressions with them.
:point_right: You still need the expressions that perform the comparisons and make the assignments:
:warning: SPOILER ALERT
```CodeChallenge.cs
const int revenue = 125000;
const int red = 100000;
const int yellow = 150000;
const string rR = "red";
const string yR = "yellow";
const string gR = "green";
string status = null;
if (revenue < red)
{
    status = rR;
}
else if (revenue < yellow)
{
    status = yR;
}
else
{
    status = gR;
}
```
