iOS Swift 2.0 Basics Swift Operators Working With Operators: Part 2

Whats wrong with my code

let isWinner != 10

operators2.swift
// Enter your code below

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

To satisfy the Working with Operators: Part 2 challenge what I put below will satisfy the challenge. var initialScore = 8 let totalScore = ++initialScore

isWinner is outstide of the scope of what is being validated in the lesson. If you are getting an error in xcode about your constant let isWinner != 10 it might be because the system doesn't know what value to assign isWinner. If it doesn't equal ten what does it equal? I looked over some documentation and I didn't see anything that indicated != could be used when declaring a variable.

I hope this is helpful.

Hey Max,

You're on the right track, but the isWinner needs to compare the totalScore to see if it's 10 or not so it can return a Boolean value to store in isWinner. You are using the correct operator (!=), but it's not "comparing" anything. If you were to ask yourself the question out loud -- "Does Total Score not equal 10?"

var initialScore = 8

let totalScore = ++initialScore

let isWinner = (totalScore != 10)

Keep Coding! :dizzy:
