ERROR

I tried expanding my code a little bit, and when I added the bottom step, I get the error.

I hope it's obvious what I tried doing here.

A. Why does the program think it's a unary operator I'm typing in? B. What can I do to fix this?

This is my code.

var range = 7;

if range > 5 && range < 20{
    print("\(range) is pretty close");
} else if range > 20 {
    print("\(range) is far away");
}  else if range > 1 && < 4 { // ERROR: "<" is not a unary operator.
    print("\(range) is far away");
}

Hey Tor,

You're on the right track. You are just missing the second reference to the variable being tested.

else if range > 1 && range < 4 //added second 'range'

See if that solves the issue. :)
