:point_right: The variable name is "temperature".

Note the "e" following the "p". But the variable name you referenced is "temprature" (with no "e" after the "p"), and no variable of that name was ever declared.

Also, you probably did not intend to do a bitwise OR (|) on this line:

if (temprature == 21|22 )

The bitwise OR expression "21|22" is equivalent to 23, which is likely not what you wanted to compare with. What you probably intended was a logical OR (||), which requires a complete comparison on each side. It would look like this (with the variable name also corrected):

if (temperature == 21 || temperature == 22)
