856 PointsGetting error : "Did you define a constant for the magic string 'red'?"
Getting this error even though I've declared a constant variable for "red".
const int revenue = 125000;
string status = null;
private const string _red = "red";
private const string _yellow = "yellow";
private const string _green = "green";
private const int _smallRevenue = 100000;
private const int _largeRevenue = 150000;
if (revenue < _smallRevenue)
{
status = _red;
}
else if (revenue < _largeRevenue)
{
status = _yellow;
}
else
{
status = _green;
}

But there's one other issue as well. While it would make no difference to the compiler, the challenge apparently doesn't like the two spaces between the word string and the variable name in your color declarations.
