I am not sure if I am using the right method.

ruby.rb 
def check_speed(car_speed)
  check_speed = "safe"


  if (car_speed = 40) && (car_speed <= 50)

    puts "safe"
  end
  # write your code here

You're close! Use the if statement to return the string 'safe' if car_speed is both greater than or equal to 40 AND less than or equal to 50

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