i have the following function 🙂
if (speed \<= 20)
{
low = true;
}
else if (speed =\> 74)
{
high = true;
}
else
{
low = false;
high = false;
}
the value of speed = 50
it always show high = true;
but infact 50 is not greater then 74
what am i doing wrong here ?

Shouldn't that be;
`else if (speed >= 74)`

ohhh i had to remove the spaces
if (speed\<20)
{
speedlow = speed;
timer = 30;
speed = 31;
low = true;
}
else if (speed\>74)
{
speedhigh = speed;
timer = 10;
speed = 74;
high = true;
}
else
{
low = false;
high = false;
speedhigh = speed;
speedlow = speed;

the spaces were not the issue. `=>` is a completely different operator to `>=`
`=>` is a fat arrow (function) operator.
`>=` is the greater than or equals to operator.
