you spelled temperature differently, first you spelled it temperature twice, and then tempertaure twice

Hi there! I received your request for assistance :email: In addition to the spelling mistakes listed in Susannah Klanecek 's answer, you also have this line:

else if (21 =< temperture =< 22)

Note that the equals sign must come after the greater than or less than sign. So they need to switch places:

else if (21 >=  temperture <= 22)

Also, an else does not take nor accept a condition. An if takes a condition as well as an else if, but not an else. We use else to say what happens when everything else before it has failed.

I believe you can get it with these hints, but let me know if you're still stuck! :sparkles:
