Need clarification

Not sure why this statement means status !is "Common". I don't know what string "status" equals

It wants you to walk through the if statements and figure out which comparison will be true based on the values of isAvailable and isCheap

var isAvailable = true
var isCheap = true

var status: String

if !isCheap && !isAvailable {
    status = "super rare"
} else if isCheap && isAvailable {
    status = "not rare"
} else if !isCheap && isAvailable {
    status = "somewhat rare"
} else {
    status = "common"
}

In this case, both are true, so status will get set to "not rare"
