using System;
class Program
{
static string CheckSpeed(double speed)
{
if (speed > 65)
{
Console.WriteLine("too fast");
}
else if (speed < 45)
{
Console.WriteLine ("too slow");
}
else
{
return
Console.WriteLine("speed OK");
}
}
static void Main(string[] args)
{
// This should print "too slow".
Console.WriteLine(CheckSpeed(44));
// This should print "too fast".
Console.WriteLine(CheckSpeed(88));
// This should print "speed OK".
Console.WriteLine(CheckSpeed(55));
}
}

static String checkSpeed(double speed)
In each if/else statement return a string.

5,157 PointsYour code is very close, but the question is asking you to return a string with the method, not to write to the console. All of the paths in the "if" statement should have a return ("string text goes here");
