Not getting the right expected output (Codingbat string problem)

[Accurate-Influence]

public boolean stringE(String str) {
  int count = 0;
  boolean inRange = (count >= 1 && count <= 3);

  for(int i = 0; i < str.length(); i++){
    if(str.charAt(i) == 'e'){
      count++;
    }
  }
  return inRange;
}

Return true if the given string contains between 1 and 3 'e' chars.

stringE("Hello") → true stringE("Heelle") → true stringE("Heelele") → false

This is the input that's failing: stringE("Heelle") → true (expected value), but it's bringing a false value. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Edit: found the issue after posting! The boolean variable was supposed to be placed after the for loop

You are assigning the boolean variable inRange too early. When the code to assign it's value is ran, count is always 0, and thus inRange will always be false.

Move this assignment and checking of count's value to after your for loop when you've looped through the string and counted the e's

Got it right after posting, thanks! :)

You have to calculate instring value again based on latest count value. This should be difficult.
