iOS Swift Basics Swift Operators Working With Operators: Part 2

Can't get challenge 2 of 2 to compile without Bummer error for exercise but compiles fine in my Playgrounds, Why?

When I click preview to see the errors causing my code to fail it will not display the compiler errors.

Here is my simple code;

// Enter your code below

var initialScore = 8 initialScore += 1

let isWinner = initialScore isWinner

operators.swift 
// Enter your code below

var initialScore = 8
initialScore += 1

let isWinner = initialScore
isWinner != 10

Your appear to be adding the value of initialScore to isWinner. What they want is a true or false value for isWinner, and you currently have the integer 9. Try adding your isWinner != 10 directly into the constant declaration above.

Thank you Geoff and Jeff for clarifying this for me. Makes perfect sense now. I am able to move on from this challenge.

Hi Tom

You are really close here you just need to basically combine the last two lines that you have in your code (Eliminating the second isWinner of course). Let me know if it makes sense

var initialScore = 8
initialScore += 1
let isWinner = initialScore != 10
