Courses Plus Student 2,458 PointsHi. I do not know why my code isn't working. Should be very simple code challenge.
This if statement will not run in the exercise, but seems to work in my workspace. Any advice?
car_speed = 65
speed_limit = 60
if car_speed > speed_limit
too_fast = "true"
end

Courses Plus Student 2,458 PointsYes. It says that the variable too_fast is not being set.

8,884 PointsYou are putting quotes around true, which sets it as a string. But true is a boolean in this case, so no quotes. I tried you code in the challenge without quotes and it passes.
