Modify the "valid_command?" method to return true when passed the following values: "y", "yes", "Y", or "YES".

answer is : def valid_command?(command) if ( command == "y" ) || ( command == "yes" ) || ( command == "Y" ) || ( command == "YES" ) return true end end

Just try refreshing. I just tried it, and it works fine. The only time it didn't work is when I tried the entire method as one line.

I did the following: def valid_command?(command) if (command.downcase == "y") || (command.downcase == "yes") return true end end

Can you explain why there are two end's at the end of the method?

One (end) for the method, and one (end) for the if statement inside the method.

def if return end end
