iOS Swift 2.0 Basics Swift Operators Working With Operators

Swift 2.0 Challenge Task 2 of 2

Challenge Task 2 of 2

Great job with the first task! In this task, we have two math operations. Without computing the values of those operations, we'd like to know if the first operation, someOperation is greater than, equal to or less than anotherOperation.

Use the greater than or equal to operator and assign the Boolean result of the comparison to a constant named isGreater.

operators.swift
// Enter your code below
let value = 200
let divisor = 5

let someOperation = 20 + 400 % 10 / 2 - 15
let anotherOperation = 52 * 27 % 200 / 2 + 5

// Task 1 - Enter your code below

let result = value % divisor

// Task 2 - Enter your code below

let isPerfectMultiple = result == 0 

let isGreater = "5" >= "7" false

Hi, Ary

Simply put, part 2 of the challenge asks you to use either greater than or equal to operator (whichever you prefer) to compare two constants someOperation & anotherOperation, and assigns the resulting Boolean value to a new constant named isGreater.

let isGreater = someOperation >= anotherOperation

Like such. Hope it helps.

let isGreater = (someOperation >= anotherOperation)

I tried this and still got an error: Make sure you're assigning the results of a comparison operation to isGreater and not just a Bool value

let value = 200 let divisor = 5 let result = value % divisor let isPerfectMultiple = (result == 0)

let isGreater = someOperation >= anotherOperation

let someOperation = 20 + 400 % 10 / 2 - 15 let anotherOperation = 52 * 27 % 200 / 2 + 5

let isGreater = (someOperation >= anotherOperation)

// Enter your code below let value = 200 let divisor = 5

let someOperation = 20 + 400 % 10 / 2 - 15 let anotherOperation = 52 * 27 % 200 / 2 + 5

// Task 1 - Enter your code below

let result = value % divisor

// Task 2 - Enter your code below

let isPerfectMultiple = result == 0 let isGreater = (someOperation >= anotherOperation)
