Where am I missing an "end" in this Ruby script? - ruby

Question

I am banging my head against the error message I keep getting, reading that "syntax error, unexpected keyword_end, expecting end-of-input." I cannot find my mistake for the life of me. It's probably sloppy-looking, I am a newbie. And any tips on preventing this specific issue in the future would also be greatly appreciated!

$cardinal_directions = ["N", "E", "S", "W"]

This error is located in the check_valid method. You missed the if.
def check_valid
if #coordinate_x.between?(0, $boundaries[0]) && coordinate_y.between?(0, $boundaries[1])
return true
end
end
Like steenslag mentioned the if statement is not required. You can write:
def check_valid
return #coordinate_x.between?(0, $boundaries[0]) && coordinate_y.between?(0, $boundaries[1])
end
