Set the return value of the "check_speed" method to the string "safe" depending on the following condition:
The speed passed in as an argument is at least 40. The speed passed in as an argument is less than or equal to 50. You should use the "&&" logical operator to accomplish this task.
My Code:
def check_speed(car_speed)
# write your code here
if car_speed == ( 40 && 50)
return safe
end
end
check_speed
What am I doing wrong?
thank you

Hi Quanton, First off, it's best to ask challenge questions directly from the challenge. Just click "Get Help" in the top-right. This will link the actually challenge with your question and make it much easier for people to help.
The challenge wants you to write the conditional to check if the speed is at least 40 but under fifty, then return the string "safe." Currently, you are checking if the speed equals 40 and 50 at the same time. To do this you will need two conditionals inside the if statement and both must return true.
def check_speed(car_speed)
# write your code here
if car_speed >= 40 && car_speed <= 50
return "safe"
end
end
Keep Coding! :)
