Hey John,

I'm not sure what your program calls for specifically, but I'd suggest considering using the <= operator (less than or equal to), since it will evaluate to true so long as the value on the right hand side of the operator is less than or equal to the value on the left hand side.

The code:

if x <= 10:

could be read as "If x is less than or equal to ten", as well as "As long as x is not greater than ten".

Good luck with the course!
