in this game of ours, we have an odd scoring mechanism . At the end of the round, if your score is 10, you lose! If it's anything but 10, you win.
Declare a constant named isWinner and assign the results of a comparison operation to check whether the player has won or not. For example, if the total score is not 10, then the player has won and isWinner should equal true. (Hint: Use the NOT operator)
// Enter your code below
var initialScore = 8
initialScore += 1
initialScore != 10
let isWinner = initialScore

Treehouse TeacherHi there Monzer! You're really close here and you have the right idea, but there's a problem. You do the comparison to see if the initial score is not equal to 10. And it does the comparison, but it never puts the result of the comparison anywhere. It's sort of hanging out there in limbo. What we want to do is assign the results of the comparison (which will be a true or false) back into the isWinner constant. Take a look:
var initialScore = 8
initialScore += 1
let isWinner = initialScore != 10
This is essentially what you did except that in your code that comparison sort of doesn't go anywhere. And then you set isWinner to be the current value of initialScore which is now 9. But isWinner should contain a true or false.
Hope this clarifies things!
