What is the correct answer?

I don't understand where I get wrong?

variable_assignment.mm 
bool isMediumSize;
int inchesTall = 64;

if(48 < inchesTall && inchesTall < 68) {
  isMediumSize = true;
}

Hi Bernard,

It looks as though the compiler doesn't like the order in which you've compared to 48. This code works:

bool isMediumSize;
int inchesTall = 64;
if(inchesTall < 68 && inchesTall > 48){
  isMediumSize = true;
}

But if you compare using 48 (is less than) inchesTall, as you have done, the challenge fails. I'm trying to think of a reason why ...

Steve.

P.S. Using the greater than and less than symbols outside of code blocks in this forum causes odd things to happen to your post, hence why I typed (is less than)!
