Please, what am I doing wrong?

What's wrong with the code I wrote? It just presents my ELSE messages, never the IF.

print "What days do you have swimming classes? "

swim = gets.chomp.capitalize

if (swim == "Mondays") && (swim == "Wednesdays")

puts "Great! We can meet there."

else

puts "Ok then! I thought we had classes on the same days."

end

print "And when do you go to the gym? "

gym = gets.chomp.capitalize

if (gym == "Tuesdays and Thursdays") || (gym == "Tuesdays and Fridays")

puts "Awesome! I'll be there and we can train together."

else

puts "That's fine! If you decide to come on Mondays and Wednesdays as well, just look me up. I'm here every day from Monday to Friday."

end

Thank you in advance and sorry if I misspelled any word, I'm brazilian.

PS. the real code is all indented.

Your code prints the else options because your ifs are never true.

For the first one you only allow one input but require the swim variable to be both Mondays and Wednesdays.

On the second if statement you're only capitalizing the first letter of the string with the capitalize method. So, for this to work you either have to type the second day with a capital letter to the input, or you need to change your if statement.

Any hint on how to allow more than one input, Beatrice?
