Active/Current Navigation Link not working

I'm trying to implement Active/Current Navigation Link so that what a user is active on a certain nav link it should be green showing they are currently on that page. My problem is it's not doing anything. Here is my fiddle https://jsfiddle.net/n83qwbpf/1/ and here is the w3 school page I am getting my example from which I copied but not working.https://www.w3schools.com/css/tryit.asp?filename=trycss_navbar_horizontal_black_active

CSS

 <!-- Stylesheet -->
body{
    background: black;
}
ul {
    list-style-type: none;
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    overflow: hidden;
    background-color: #333;
}

li {
    float: left;
}

li a {
    display: block;
    color: white;
    padding: 14px 16px;
    text-decoration: none;
}
li a:hover:not(.active) {
    background-color: #111;
}

.active {
    background-color: #4CAF50;
}

You forgot to add an active class on the menu.
