This challenge returns incorrect result.

I ran this in Visual Studio and it works. In the course however it says it ran a value of 65 and expected Speed OK.

Program.cs 
using System;

class Program
{

    static string CheckSpeed(double speed)
    {
       if (speed > 65)
       {
           return "too fast";
       }
      else if (speed < 45)
       {
           return "too slow";
       }
      else
       {
           return "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));
    }

}

Hi Josh,

The challenges are usually very picky and if you forget a semicolon or use a capital letter instead of a lowercase letter, you will not be able to pass the challenge.

In this case, just change: return "Speed OK" to return "speed OK".

Cheers!
