I don't know why he is asking me, if i have defined the String red?

CodeChallenge.cs 
const int revenue = 125000;
string status = null;
const int revenueMin = 100000;
const int revenueMax = 150000;
const String colorRed = "red";
const String coloryellow = "yellow";
const String colorgreen = "green";

if (revenue < revenueMin)
{
    status = colorRed;
}
else if (revenue < revenueMax)
{
    status = coloryellow;
}
else

    status = colorgreen;
}

:point_right: Try spelling "string" with a lower-case "s".

While "String" is a legitimate and compatible object type, the challenge evaluation program is probably not designed to accept anything other than the primitive "string".
