im having trouble with the second task. I need to find out if someOperation is greater than, equal, or less than anotherOperation. Then assign the boolean result to the constant isGreater.
// 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
let isPerfectMultiple = result==0
// Task 2 - Enter your code below
someOperation == anotherOperation
someOperation != anotherOperation
someOperation > anotherOperation
someOperation < anotherOperation
let isGreater = 1

Treehouse TeacherHi there! I'm about 99% sure you've overthought this. In the task above you did pretty much the same thing except there the expression was about if a number was a perfect multiple or not. Now they've set up the two operations that are going to be evaluated. Do you want to do all that math in your head? I don't. So we're going to let the computer do that.
let isGreater = someOperation >= anotherOperation
This is the one line you need for step 2. All it's going to do is get the result of someOperation and compare it to ànotherOperation. If the result from someOperation is greater than or equal to ànotherOperation then true is assigned to ìsGreater. Otherwise, false is assigned to ìsGreater. Hope this helps!
