Learn CSS Variables by Building a City Skyline - Step 77

[coderostro]

Hello everyone,

I am stuck on step 77 ( Add a repeating-linear-gradient to .fb1c with a 90deg angle, your --building-color4 from 0% to 10% and transparent from 10% to 15%) and even though I checked it against a previous step with similar syntax, I seemingly can’t see the problem.

Would anyone know?

Your code so far

Hi!

In order to declare where your colors should start and end in your repeating-linear-gradient, you can use a specific percentage for both the starting and the ending point:

background: repeating-linear-gradient(
    your-angle,
    first-color starting%,
    first-color ending%,
    second-color starting%,
    second-color ending%);

This way your code should know exactly when to start and to end the repeating colors.

Hope this helps!

Welcome to the Forum.
You almost give it a nice trail

But change a little only.

First you need to start your var(--building-color4 ) from 0%

Second your transparent is not a variable assigned, so use only transparent not var(--tarsparent)
Third start this from 10% not from 15%

By following the guidenace of @danaebouki you can see how to use them.

@coderostro

background: repeating-linear-gradient(
      90deg,
      var(--building-color4) 10%,
      var(transparent) 15%

Hope you understand.

thank you…

it’s still not working even thought I updated the code as below?

      90deg,
      var(--building-color4) 0%,
      var(--building-color4) 10%,
      var(transparent) 10%,
      var(transparent) 15%
  );
}```

Hi!!

Well, since “transparent” is already a value given by CSS, you don’t need to set it as a variable, you can write it as is.

Keep up the good work and happy learning!

that was it - thanks so much!
