You are near. Change it the || operators to && operators. The after money < 10 so now the conditional is true. Now your code is good! Please check Logical Operators page. Hope this help!

The tests need to be modified to make the passing conditions fit with the messages that are printed out.

Hints:

  • most tests are concerned with both the amount of money and the day of the week
  • you will only need to change operators for this challenge, don't add or remove any test expressions
