I Don't Know The Answer

I have done a bit of this swift course before but i forgot how to answer this code challenge :P Could someone please tell me the answer and why?

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
let isGreater = someOperation >=< anotherOperation == true

Hi Benjamin,

It looks like perhaps the wording of this question is confusing you.

Everything looks good up until task two.

The last task says:

Use the greater than or equal to operator and assign the Boolean result of the comparison to a constant named isGreater.

the "greater than or equal to" operator is >= . anytime you use this operator to make a comparison its going to return a boolean value.

For Example: if you do the following comparison in xcode, it will return true.

2 >= 1

Below is the final solution.

// 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

// Task 2 - Enter your code below
let isPerfectMultiple = result == 0

let isGreater = someOperation >= anotherOperation

I hope this helps.
