408 PointsI am having some trouble answering this question. Can I get some help?
I am not sure how to apply this Not operator in order to assign it to the constant isWinner.
// Enter your code below
var initialScore = 8
let totalScore = ++initialScore
10 != 10

Treehouse TeacherHiya Beau Enslow! You were doing great right up until the last line. You declared a constant in the line just above it. Now it wants a new constant. Then we're going to check to see if totalScore is equal to 10. If the score is not equal to 10 then true will be stored in the isWinner, and the person wins! Take a look at the line you need:
let isWinner = totalScore != 10
We declare our constant. We evaluate totalScore. If totalScore is not equal to 10 then true is stored in isWinner. Hope this helps!

Also, != (or ==) evaluate to true or false. In the correct answer above, the '=' is used, and so is '!='. I think it looks a little strange to have them both appear in the same line together. But it works, and it's good. '!=' and '==' are not the same as '='. '==' and '!=' give you either true or false, where '=' assigns value to a variable or constant.
