This quiz is confusing and didn't seem to be covered in the videos. What am I doing wrong?
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. car_speed = 55 speed_limit = 60
print "too_fast" too_fast=gets.chomp
if too_fast == "true" puts "Car is driving faster than the speed limit."
else puts "Car is driving under the speed limit."
end
car_speed = 55
speed_limit = 60
print "too_fast"
too_fast=gets.chomp
if too_fast == "true"
puts "Car is driving faster than the speed limit."
else
puts "Car is driving under the speed limit."
end

too_fast = true
In your code above, you are printing out "too_fast" as a string. You want to declare a variable. If the car_speed is faster than the speed_limit, then the variable remains as true, else, it's value will be switched to false.
Hopefully that helps, if not, let us know.
