6,075 PointsDon't get this. Maybe I'm getting error by mistake from ruby.
Set a variable called "too_fast" equal to "true" if the car_speed is faster than the speed_limit and "false" if the car_speed is less than the speed_limit.
# W
car_speed = 65
speed_limit = 60
too_fast >= 60
if car_speed > speed_limit
too_fast = true
end

if car_speed > speed_limit
too_fast = true
else
too_fast = false
end
(Note: Is says to make variable too_fast a bool.)

2,932 PointsMake sure you are completing the entire problem, it asks for you to determine if the car is above or BELOW the speed limit. Try adding another step to your code (not an if statement but an ... statement).

6,075 PointsThx for your help. This answer is what I used and it gets an error message. Am I doing it wrong or is it the challenge question is wrong?
car_speed = 65 speed_limit = 60 too_fast >= 60
if car_speed > speed_limit too_fast = true else car_speed < speed_limit too_fast = false end

6,075 PointsThanks, I believe I tried that and it didn't work. But when I copied and pasted your code and put it into the challenge question it didn't have any problem and it worked.
