5,277 Pointscannot set too_fast variable
task 1 Set a variable called "too_fast" if car_speed is greater than speed_limit
code car_speed = 65 speed_limit = 60
if car_speed > speed_limit too_fast = "true" end
always get error that the too_fast variable is not getting set. I think something is wrong as this is how variables are set.

5,277 PointsI made the mistake of defining too_fast = "true" which is a string and not a boolean.
The correct method is if car_speed > speed_limit too_fast = true end
