Difficulty with OR || operator challenge

I can't figure out what the problem is with this code.

ruby.rb 
def valid_command?(command)
  if (command == "y") || (command == "yes") || (command == "Y") || (command == "YES")
    return
  end
end

Hi Angela,

You just need to return true and this piece of code will work.

def valid_command?(command)
  if (command == "y" || "yes" || "Y" || "YES" )
    return true
  end
end
