iOS Swift 2.0 Basics Swift Operators Working With Operators

I don't really understand the second task: "Use the greater than or equal to operator and assign the Boolean result.."

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

I do know it has to use ">=" somewhere. And, I know Boolean is either true or false.

All I know is:

"let isGreater = "

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

someOperation >= anotherOperation

let result = 200 % 5

// Task 2 - Enter your code below

let isGreater = true

let isPerfectMultiple = result == 0

So, operators do act as Boolean too?

Thanks a lot!

Hi Abdul,

The challenge is requesting that we use the 'greater than or equal to' operator to compare the values of two constants (someOperation and anotherOperation), and to store the result of the comparison to a boolean constant.

If the comparison is true (meaning that if someOperation is greater than or equal to anotherOperation), the value of isGreater will be true, and if the comparison is false (if someOperation is less than anotherOperation), the value of isGreater will be false.

let isGreater = someOperation >= anotherOperation

Hope this helps!
