Challenge Task 1 of 1
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.
car_speed = 55
speed_limit = 55
if car_speed < speed_limit
too_fast = false
else
too_fast = true
elsif
going_speed_limit = true
end
end

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

4,344 Pointstry this:
car_speed = 65 speed_limit = 60 too_fast = true
if car_speed > speed_limit too_fast = true else too_fast = false end
should complete the challenge.
Hope this helps!

3,327 PointsI passed the challenge, this is my code if car_speed < speed_limit too_fast = false elsif car_speed = speed_limit going_speed_limit = true else too_fast = true end
