The isCorrect variable is in the code that's already there for you, so you just need to check that. :)

boolean isCorrect = GuessEngine.testGuess(mUserInput);

Hi Ann,

This part of the code challenge is saying to add an if statement to check if the boolean variable isCorrect is true.

I had something similar to your code which didn't work, and after a quick google search I found some code that helped pass this task.

boolean condition = true; if(condition==true) { // Execute this code only if condition variable is true }

You can just check

if(isCorrect) or if(isCorrect == true)

it basically mean: check if the boolean named isCorrect is true

Okay thx for the help!
