Hey there,

for the second task you have to compare totalScore to 10 using the is not equal operator (!=) to see if totalScore is not equal to 10. Then you have to assign the resulting boolean value to the constant isWinner like so:

// Enter your code below

var initialScore = 8
let totalScore = ++initialScore
let isWinner = totalScore != 10

I hope that helps! :)

Quick note: ++ and -- (pre- and post version) are deprecated as of Swift 2.2 and will be removed in Swift 3. They still work but they will trigger a compiler warning. You can find the link to the proposal here. Just mentioning this, as this might be confusing for Playground users :)

Yup, thanks for mentioning it! :)

I just wanted to keep the code Sonu posted the same so I don't cause more confusion and the challenge description also explicitly mentions using the unary increment operator.

Sure, absolutely! I just thought I'd mention it, the compiler warnings are causing a lot of confusion these days ;)
