When I type ' let isGreater: Bool = someOperation ≥ anotherOperation', it says 'Bummer! Make sure you're assigning the results of a comparison operation to isGreater and not just a Bool value'. But how else can I assign the results of the comparison? I can't put a message in string as I don't know if the comparison is true or false. Assigning a Boolean value is the only way I can think of. What do I do?!
// 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: Bool = result == 0
let isGreater: Bool = someOperation ≥ anotherOperation

Treehouse TeacherHi there! Well, your logic is spot on! In mathematics we write "greater than or equal to" as ≥. However, in Swift we write the same thing as >=. Note that the greater than and equal are two separate characters. By the way, this is not exclusive to Swift. Every programming language I've come across writes it this way.
So, if I make this tiny correction to your code, it passes!
Hope this helps!

Courses Plus Student 3,965 PointsThanks Jennifer, this really helped and I learned something new( to use >= instead of ≥)!
