Courses Plus Student 3,176 PointsCan we use range in an "if" statement?
Can we use range to write this code?
def check_speed(speed)
if speed < 45
puts "too slow"
end
if speed > 60
puts "too fast"
end
if speed == (45..60)
puts "speed OK"
end
end

However, your example doesn't need it as the options are mutually exclusive - there's no need for the last test as the number can only be within the range following the first two tests, so that just needs an else
clause to output "speed OK"
.
