To Tendai,

As you are using the 'or' ( || ) logical operator, only one condition needs to be true, for the statements associated with the condition to execute.

Thus you need to use the 'and' ( && ) logical operator instead. This means that the statements following the condition will only execute if both conditions are true.

You have done this correctly for the last else if statement, all other preceding if and else if statements need to be like this one.
