It gives me an error when I type the code...

ruby.rb
def check_speed(car_speed)
  # write your code here
  if (car_speed >= 40) && (car_speed <= 50)  
    puts "safe"
  else
    puts "unsafe"
  end

Hey Viraj,

You have one syntax error -- You are missing an end statement for the function.

Also, the challenge asks you to return the value "safe" or "unsafe." You are using puts instead.

Add an end and change puts to return and you're good to go.

Keep Coding! :)

Just Figured it out !

def check_speed(car_speed)
  # write your code here
  if (car_speed >= 40) && (car_speed <= 50)  
    return "safe"
  else
    return "unsafe"
  end 
end

Hey Jason I tried using The marksheet reference to do so using the backticks but was not able to do so. Please give me some idea

You did it right, you just need one more enter/return between the top sentence and the code block (there needs to be a space).

I edited your answer to show this. If you go and click 'edit answer' on your answer, you will see what I mean.
