workspace is having technical issues

Hi, I tried the syntax correctly and it worked when I went back for review and tried the identical syntax it did NOT work. Just wanted to let you know.

ruby.rb 
car_speed = 55
speed_limit = 60

# Write your code here
too_fast = "true"

if car_speed > "speed_limit"
  puts "false"
else car_speed < "speed_limit"
    puts "true"
  end

Hey Tami,

When writing out your solution it seems that you have set "strings" as a value to your variables . I suggest removing all parentheses except for the first one, too_fast="true"

Hope this helps

If the code you have printed above is the code you entered for the 'Else Challenge', then your code is incorrect. You might want to take a closer look at the challenge directions, then your too_fast variable and your use of if / else. As it is now, your too_fast variable will be set to "true" (a string) no matter what.
