The compiler is not accepting

  @if (stopLight.Equals("green")) {
    <h5>The stoplight is green, go!</h5>
  }

for step 2. However, it produces the correct results, and the error message says
“Did you create an if statement with the proper format: @if() {...} ?”.

I was able to figure this out. The exercise apparently wants us to use == instead of .Equals() for string comparison, even though that is not the correct way to check for string equality. Changing stopLight.Equals(“green”) to stopLight == “green” made the answer work.

This may be an old topic but for someone just starting this here is another thing that may “stick you up” that I ran into.
Make sure you type the exact! text to be displayed. I missed typed ‘the’ instead of The and while the web app would display the text ‘the stoplight etc…’ it would not pass the step till I put 'The stoplight etc…"
Hope this helps others.

Struggling to understand why my code for the second prompt is being rejected. It appears to be displaying correctly on the exercise web page.

  @if(stopLight ==("green")) {
    <h5>The stoplight is green, go!</h5>
  }

Nevermind–I reset the workspace, tried again, and got it to work.
