how do I assign a boolean value of a comparison to a constant

I'm trying to figure out how to assign the Boolean value of a comparison to a constant. First instinct is to say

let isGreater = someOperation >= anotherOperation

but that leaves no true false conditional

operators.swift 
// Enter your code below
let value = 200
let divisor = 5

let someOperation = 20 + 400 % 10 / 2 - 15
let anotherOperation = 52 * 27 % 200 / 2 + 5

// Task 1 - Enter your code below
let result = value % divisor
let isPerfectMultiple = result == 0
// Task 2 - Enter your code below
someOperation > anotherOperation
someOperation == anotherOperation
someOperation < anotherOperation
someOperation <= anotherOperation
let isGreater = true

Hello Jack:

You are doing well, the only thing is that in the second part of the challenge you don't have to go through the entire comparison. Just do one and you will be good.

Remember, since the comparison will return a value, you can assign it to a constant directly. 

// Enter your code below
let value = 200
let divisor = 5

let someOperation = 20 + 400 % 10 / 2 - 15
let anotherOperation = 52 * 27 % 200 / 2 + 5

// Task 1 - Enter your code below
let result = value % divisor
let isPerfectMultiple = result == 0

// Task 2 - Enter your code below

// Here we asking the result of the comparison into a constant. 

let isGreater = someOperation >= anotherOperation

Good luck.
