I think there is something missing here, not sure where I may be going wrong?
car_speed = 55
speed_limit = 60
# Write your code here
too_fast="true"
if car_speed > speed_limit
puts "true"
else
car_speed < speed_limit
puts "false"
end

Courses Plus Student 40,065 PointsHi Justin,
Almost but little errors, we put new variable (too_fast) under IF statments, we don't add "puts" to prompt the messages to inform users. Just if the car_speed is faster that will set true otherwise false if car_speed is slower than limit.
if car is faster than speed limit
variable_name = true
else
car is slower than speed limit
variable_name = false
end
car_speed = 55
speed_limit = 60
if car_speed > speed_limit
too_fast = true # variable name equal to "true" if the car_speed is faster than the speed_limit
else
car_speed < speed_limit
too_fast = false # variable name equal false if the car_speed is less than the speed_limit.
end
Hope that helps
