I've checked my code and it looks correct. This is frustrating.

var initialScore = 8 initialScore += 2

if initialScore != 10 { let isWinner = true } else { let isWinner = false }

operators.swift 
// Enter your code below

var initialScore = 8
initialScore += 1

if initialScore  != 10 {
    let isWinner  = true
} else {
      let isWinner  = false
}

Try this: let isWinner = initialScore != 10

Hi Ivan,

Your code is logically sound, works within xcode; but is a bit over complicated. As such its not quite what the challenge was looking for. You can simplify the solution a bit like so:

 var initialScore = 8

 initialScore += 1

let isWinner: Bool = (initialScore != 10)

You will find that some challenges are looking for specific ways to solve the problem, while other challenges will be more forgiving. I hope this helps!
