Where do I place the "AND"(&&) in this code?

Any suggestions? Thanks

variable_assignment.mm 
bool isMediumSize;
int inchesTall = 64;
if ((inchesTall > 48)||(inchesTall < 68)){
  isMediumSize = true;
}

You place it where you currently use || (OR). The OR operator returns true if either condition it is between is true, && (AND) returns true only if both of the conditions are true.

In your code you check if inchesTall is bigger than 48 or lesser than 68, instead of checking if it is bigger than AND less than as the task asked.

So simply replacing || with && like this:

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

Will allow your code to pass.
