Good afternoon, I'm new to Kotlin and working through a Big Nerd Ranch book, I came across the function in their code and it isn't working, can someone help me with the solution.val healthStatus = when (healthpoints) {

in 100..89 -> EXCELLENT_HEALTH

in 90..99 -> GOOD_HEALTH

in 75..98 -> MINOR_HEALTH

in 75..89 -> if (isBlessed) {IS_BLESSED

} else {

}

in 15..74 -> LOW_HEALTH

else -> POOR_HEALTH

}

...

println("$name $healthStatus")isBlessed is set to true, and I have a string stored in const val IS_BLESSED. The issue I am having is that string is not printing regardless the range of the healthpoints.

Does not look like the code should even compile - there's no completion of the else branch that would be required by the outer assignment.

[darkmoon_uk]

Please put code in triple back-ticks, in these channels;

println("So that it appears like this")

[Dangelomjoyce]

What is a triple backtick?\

I may just go back to using if else statements until I have a better understanding of when...worked fine before then. Thanks.

when clauses are evaluated one-by-one. So the first range clause 75..98 catches all values in that range and thus you'll never step in the next branch.

Also 100..89 range looks strange: it is always empty, because its end is less than the start.
