Not Operator with a number

In this game of ours, we have an odd scoring mechanism . At the end of the round, if your score is 10, you lose! If it's anything but 10, you win.

Declare a constant named isWinner and assign the results of a comparison operation to check whether the player has won or not. If the total score is not 10, then the player has won, otherwise he or she has lost. (Hint: Use the NOT operator)

Ive tried this multiple ways It would be nice if they gave us the correct way at some point and marked me wrong so I Know the correct answer and can move on.

Use the increment operator (++). Make sure you add the increment operator before the variable. Adding it before will increment it and then return the variable with the updated value.

var initialScore = 8 
let totalScore = ++initialScore // add this line of code

Thanks for the response. I think I have that part declaring the winner of not 10 was the part I'm having a hard time with.
