It keeps telling me to try again, but there is no error

I tried without using gets, i tried using an elsif statement as well, even it doesn't make sense. I don't get what is missing.

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

The issue is that you have a typo in the second condition for your if statement, you misspell command as comand.

If you fix that typo and remove the gets function (which does indeed not belong here since the command is passed in as a parameter) then you end up with this:

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

Which will pass the challenge.
