Java code issues

[shoob0x]

Hello, my code is

var speed = 65;

// Complete the condition in the ()s on line 4
if (speed <= 80) {
	// Use console.log() to print "Slow downc
console.log("Slow down")
} else {
	// Use console.log() to print "Drive safe"
console.log("Drive safe")
}

But it keeps prompting "Slow down" instead. Am I misinterpreting the <= and > part? Thanks in advance.

<= is less than or equal to. Since 65 is less than 80, it will do "Slow down." You have the sign reversed, you want >= at the if statement.

Please read this http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/244553-49-read-programming-assignment-help before posting homework assignments. I've fixed your code this time, but next time please use the code tags.

So in Java < 8 means less than 8? Such an odd langauage. Thank you though.

Means the same thing in all languages. Even in math.

What's odd about < being less than? When you are doing something like x < 8, you are saying x is less than 8, just like if you were doing plain math. So if you have x = 20, and then make an if (x < 8) statement, the computer will evaluate if x is in fact less than (<) 8 in this example. 20 < 8 is false in the case, so the computer will skip to the next statement. The signs are exactly the same as they are used in mathematics.
