I'm a student and I have no clue what's wrong with my statement, it's not a compilation error because it just asks for the statement. The errors I get are that salesTrend does not have the proper value assigned and that I did not modify salesTrend. The test case table returns everything correctly except when soldYesterday and soldToday are equal. Any help is appreciated, sorry if this seems like a silly mistake.

Sorry, but I can't read the code on the images - nor the exercise requirement. Please copy and paste the code into a post using code tags so that the code is readable and also the requirement.

I agree with 2kaud.
And you might want to read the Announcement: Before you post.... section.

Read the assignment and read your code. You've assigned three possible values to salesTrend. The assignment only calls for two.

except when soldYesterday and soldToday are equal

Note that the logical negation of (a<b) is (a>=b) so,

if (a<b) {
    // the (a<b) case
} else {
    // the (a>=b) case
}

These are the two cases the exercise asks you to distinguish (and not to also separate out the equality (a==b) case).
