2,652 PointsNeed help with task 2 Is there a glitch by any chance?
let someOperation = 20 + 400 % 10 / 2 - 15
let anotherOperation = 52 * 27 % 200 / 2 + 5
someOperation >= anotherOperation
let isGreater = true
Any reason why this is not working

Treehouse TeacherHi there, Richard Cho ! No, this is not a glitch. First, you may not remove the passing code from Step 1 of the challenge. Doing so will cause Step 2 to fail, even if the code for step 2 is correct. These tasks are cumulative. Never remove code from the previous task unless explicitly asked to do so.
As for your second task, you are hard-coding the isGreater to true. You're simply assigning the value of true here. But what if in our program the value of someOperation and anotherOperation are constantly changing (let's say they are variables instead of constants)? You wouldn't be able to guarantee that isGreater should be true at any given time. Right now, you are performing an evaluation between the two and that code is running. But the results of that evaluation are just sort of floating out in limbo now. They were neither displayed nor were they saved. The challenge asks you to save the results directly into the constant isGreater.
We can do that like this:
// someOperation >= anotherOperation is evaluated to either true or false
// the true or false will then be stored in isGreater
let isGreater = someOperation >= anotherOperation
Hope this helps!
