What am i doing wrong? The first "if" statement doesn't set the correct value to return "safe" as asked. Please help me! Thanks!
def check_speed(car_speed)
if (car_speed >= 40) && (car_speed <= 50)
return safe
elsif (car_speed <= 39) && (car_speed >= 51)
return unsafe
end
end

and unsafe
are strings so you need to wrap them in quotes. In addition to that the conditions for your elseif is wrong. You are checking if car_speed
is less than or equal to 39 AND more than or equal to 51. A number can't be both less than 39 and greater than 51 at the same time, so that statement will never be true.
You don't actually need any conditions for the last statement though, it should run for any value that does not fit within the if conditions, so you can just use an else
statement like this:
def check_speed(car_speed)
if (car_speed >= 40) && (car_speed <= 50)
return "safe"
else # else automatically runs if the above if statement does not run
return "unsafe"
end
end
