Please Help: A bit lost on this question. I understand how to apply ELSIF to video example. This question lost me:

Help

ruby.rb 
car_speed = 55
speed_limit = 55

if car_speed < speed_limit
  too_fast = false
else
  too_fast = true
end

if car_speed = speed_limit
elsif answer = true
  put going_speed_limit = true

end

Not sure what the question is. Are you trying to rewrite this code as an elsif statement?

I think you could have something

if x < y
  z == false
elsif x > y
  z == true
else
  stuff
end

is that what you mean?

The question say Set the return value of the "check_speed" method to the string "safe"depending on the following condition:

1.- The speed passed in as an argument is at least 40 2.-The speed passed in as an argument is less than or equal to 50

you should use the "&&" logical operator to acomplish this task

Im stock in that to and my english is bad :(

Hi,

I am also having trouble understanding this objective.

Set the return value of the "check_speed" method to the string "safe" depending on the following condition: The speed passed in as an argument is at least 40. The speed passed in as an argument is less than or equal to 50. You should use the "&&" logical operator to accomplish this task.

What is the answer to this objective?

thanks
