What is the answer of the code challenge? I cannot understand the question.

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)

operators.swift 
// Enter your code below

var initialScore = 8
initialScore += 1

let isWinner = !10

Hi Che Hei Cheung!

Your code is almost there!

However in this challenge we want the winner score NOT to be equal to 10 in order to win. In your code you just declared a constant that is not a 10 (which is logical to humans but not for the computer) - you need to assign it what should NOT be 10.

For example:

let theWinner = score != 10

Hope this helps!
