Ruby logical operator challenge

Having trouble with this challenge. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

ruby.rb 
def check_speed(car_speed)

if(car_speed >= 40) && (car_speed <= 50)
    return  = "safe"
end
  check_speed()

Hi Jon,

Almost looks great but the four reasons to remove below:

  • brackets () in first statement
  • Return
  • equal = (Ruby doesn't require to use " return = ")
  • add another end missing
def check_speed(car_speed)
  if car_speed >= 40 && car_speed <= 50
     "safe"
  end 
end

Then Everything is good :-)
