Courses Plus Student 1,073 PointsCan someone please help me, I don't understand how to use 'return' value in this case
using System;
class Program
{
static string CheckSpeed(double speed)
{
if(speed > 65.0)
{
Console.WriteLine("too fast");
}
else if(speed < 45.0)
{
Console.WriteLine("too slow");
}
else
{
Console.WriteLine("speed OK");
}// YOUR CODE HERE
}
static void Main(string[] args)
{
// This should print "too slow".
Console.WriteLine(CheckSpeed(44));
// This should print "too fast".
Console.WriteLine(CheckSpeed(88));
// This should print "speed OK".
Console.WriteLine(CheckSpeed(55));
}
}

Courses Plus Student 1,073 PointsThanks! It works, now I understand!

Courses Plus Student 1,073 PointsThanks, I understand that, but I don't understand how to exactly to implement the "return"
Steven Parker
231,268 PointsWhere you currently have the term "Console.WriteLine" (in 3 places), replace it with the word "return". Optionally, you can also remove the parentheses around the string (replacing the open parenthesis with a space).

I've done as you advise and still not working

what's wrong?

231,268 PointsInstead of posting a question as an "answer" to another one, always start a fresh new question and show your code there.
But here's a hint: all your code should go in the "CheckSpeed" routine, the "Main" should remain as it was supplied.
Michal Lysiak
9,651 PointsYeah, but it still doesn't work and shows me an error as above :(
