Returning safe, but still getting "Bummer!" message.

As far as I can tell I'm returning "safe" exactly how the exercise asks for it, but still getting the following message: " Bummer! Make sure to return "safe" for values in the accepted range"

What am I doing wrong?

ruby.rb 
def check_speed(car_speed)
  # write your code here
  if car_speed >= 40 && car_speed <= 50
    puts "safe"
  else puts "unsafe"
  end 
end

Hi Katriel,

Your question is actually the answer as to what's wrong. :smile:

While the code is correct in syntax, you are not "Returning" anything... right now you have "puts" when the challenge specifically wants "return." Just change those and you're good to go.

Keep Coding! :) :dizzy:
