**Tell us what’s happening:**  
Hello everyone, please I need help.  
when i test my code the last condition is not respected whatever i face  
here is the condition :  
/**/  
You can add `from` , `to` and `limit` parameters to a `GET /api/users/:_id/logs` request to retrieve part of the log of any user. `from` and `to` are dates in `yyyy-mm-dd` format. `limit` is an integer of how many logs to send back.  
/**/

below is the part of the code that handles this condition:
