231,275 PointsYou're getting too fancy here, and:
- you reference an undefined variable named "color"
- and reference another undefined variable named "roses"
Basic boolean values are true and false. So the simplest boolean value you can put in the if expression to satisfy the challenge would just be "true". You don't need to define any variables.
