Setting the return value for a string

I am using the && logic

def check_speed(car_speed)
  if (car_speed >= 40) && (car_speed <= 50)

end

Hi there,

Everything looks in order, you just needed another 'end' to close the if statement.

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