Challenge: Learn CSS Variables by Building a City Skyline - Step 60

Link to the challenge:

if I said "check your brackets ) would you find that a good hint? :slight_smile:
As you are in Step 60, you should try to double check your syntax everytime you write something new.

I still don’t know what my mistake is. :confused:

sorry about that, it wasn’t your brackets.
When I put your code in, I got an error (probably like you did).

If you pay attention to the hints section, they will tell you what you missed there.

Mod Edit: removed solution

Hint:

You should give .bb3 a background using repeating-linear-gradient.

Hi Ahmed, Great work!

I removed the last screen shot you posted because I am hoping to allow others to work through the problem the exact same way you did and to learn new skills while they are doing so. I hope that is okay with you.
(and well done again)

Wait, what? That was the solution? But it’s still not passing! :laughing:

hi Ahmed,

please update me, are you still having a problem? (I saw you marked a previous post as the solution so maybe there is a misunderstanding?)

That wasn’t me! Hahah. So weird.

oh okay. No worries. So what does your code look like now?

okay i see the issue.

When writing a list of values for the gradient, you should use commas, but only in between values. Do not use a comma after the last value.

hope this helps (and sorry for the earlier misunderstanding)
