Code not working

Using an "elsif" statement, modify the code below to check whether or not the car_speed is equal to the speed_limit. If it is, set the variable "going_speed_limit" to true. My code is as follows:

car_speed = 55 speed_limit = 55

if car_speed < speed_limit too_fast = false elsif car_speed == speed limit going_speed_limit = true else too_fast = true end

ruby.rb 
car_speed = 55
speed_limit = 55

if car_speed < speed_limit
  too_fast = false
elsif car_speed == speed limit 
  going_speed_limit = true
else
  too_fast = true
end

Hiya Seth! You're almost there , just replace "speed limit" with "speed_limit" in your "elsif" block. If it still doesnt pass , here is the code for your reference:

car_speed = 55
speed_limit = 55

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