assign results to a constant isGreate than

let value = 200 let divisor = 5

let someOperation = 20 + 400 % 10 / 2 - 15 let anotherOperation = 52 * 27 % 200 / 2 + 5

let result: Int = value % divisor

let isPerfectMultiple = result == 0

let comparison = "someOperation" > "anotherOperation"

let isGreater = true

operators.swift 
// Enter your code below
let value = 200
let divisor = 5

let someOperation = 20 + 400 % 10 / 2 - 15
let anotherOperation = 52 * 27 % 200 / 2 + 5

let result: Int = value % divisor

let isPerfectMultiple = result == 0

let comparison = "someOperation" > "anotherOperation"

let isGreater = true

Use the greater than or equal to operator and assign the Boolean result of the comparison to a constant named isGreater.

The Code Challenge is asking you to use the greater than or equal to operator. You are only using the greater than operator. You can actually write the code like below to achieve the solution. You also do not want to put quotes around the constants, someOperation and anotherOperation. This is comparing two(2) Strings, not the constants.

let isGreater: Bool = someOperation >= anotherOperation
