I cleaned up your code.  
You need to use triple backticks to post code to the forum.  
See [this post for details](http://forum.freecodecamp.com/t/forum-code-formatting/25574).

You are mixing “Outside” and “Inside”. The function should return “Outside” when `val` is NOT between 10 and 20, inclusive (so 10 and 20 are still “Inside”).

@akshayv97 Follow the add ups @BenGitter suggested, you need to check the value whether they are not between 10 and 20 .
