Why isn't this working?

my code isn't working, and I don't understand why. My not operator is white, so I think it could be that. All of the videos that I have watched don't explain why this isn't working, so I hope that someone can help me.

var initialScore = 8 initialScore += 1

9 = !=10

let isWinner = initialScore

operators.swift 
// Enter your code below

var initialScore = 8
initialScore += 1

9 = !=10

let isWinner = initialScore

var initialScore = 8

//You have the first part correct

initialScore += 1

//You do not need the 9 = !=10
//You started the last part correctly you just need to finish
//The winner is when the initialScore is not equal to 10

let isWinner = initialScore != 10
