Learn CSS Variables by Building a City Skyline - Step 46

HTML-CSS

Tell us what’s happening:
Hi there from Italy (so sorry if my eng is not the best)
I am stuck with step 46:
You can specify where you want a gradient transition to complete by adding it to the color like this:

gradient-type(
  color1,
  color2 20%,
  color3
);

Here, it will transition from color1 to color2 between 0% and 20% of the element and then transition to color3 for the rest. Add 80% to the --building-color1 color of the .bb1d gradient so you can see it in action.

I tried:
.bb1d {
width: 100%;
height: 70%;
background: linear-gradient(
orange 18%,
var(–building-color1) 80%,
var(–window-color1) 2%
);
}
but it says: " You should add a value of 80% to the --building-color1 color in the linear-gradient of .bb1d ."

What gone wrong?

Thanks for help!!
Serena

Welcome to the FCC community!

It appears that transitions percents have been added to the other colors creating the step not to pass. Try removing those, leaving only the 80% on the required color, and see if it will pass.

It worked! Sadly, the problem was my understanding of english…thanks a lot Life.Blessed, it was very kind of you helping me with such a poor issue :slight_smile:

No need to apologize for your English language skills. Trust me, your English is way better than my Italian. I do not know Italian at all.

Glad you were able to get it solved a move on with your coding journey.

The community is always here for you to ask for help, or to help others, too.

Keep up your great progress! :slight_smile:
