First of all, please use the search bar before asking, a lot of students already asked the same. You can see here : https://teamtreehouse.com/community/code-challenge:9442
Regarding your code,
if isWinner !10
is not correct, even if it's not what they ask. You shloud have written
if isWinner != 10
BUT as you defined isWinner as a Boolean, this comparison will be always true.
So they ask to assign the comparison to a constant isWinner (which will be a boolean), your beginning is correct.
let isWinner =
What is the comparison ? We have to check if totalScore is or is not equal to then. If it's not, isWinner is true. Or as we want to win, we want isWinner true, so we want totalScore different of 10. Let's write the comparison
totalScore != 10
This line return "true", try in a playground. So as isWinner will be a boolean, we can assign this comparison to isWinner like this
let isWinner = (totalScore!= 10)
