Possible Error in Code Challenge

Pasan Premaratne

In this Code Challenge, the question is:

Finally, we need to indicate that the book is available in our store. Declare a variable named isAvailable and assign a Boolean value of false.

Shouldn't it logically be mean this?

Finally, we need to indicate that the book is available in our store. Declare a variable named isAvailable and assign a Boolean value of true.

Good catch Philip. I would suggest another fix, though, that explains better what the variable is for, and how it would be used in an application:

Finally, we need to indicate whether the book is available in our store. Declare a variable named isAvailable and assign a Boolean value of false.

Either false or true is fine, but I think it's helpful to emphasize that this is a property that can be changed.
