Hi adnan,

First off take a look at my notes in your code:

// Enter your code below

var initialScore = 8
initialScore += 1

var initialScore = 8 //duplicate
initialScore += 1 //duplicate
isWinner != totalScore == 10 //your statement reads isWinner does not equal totalscore isequal to 10. You also used a new variable totalScore... which was not previously defined or needed.
//You also need to define isWinner with a let statement.
isWinner = false // set is winner to false... 

Here is how it should look:

// Enter your code below

var initialScore = 8
initialScore += 1
let isWinner = initialScore != 10
// The above statement reads... set the constant of isWinner to the boolean result of initialScore does not equal 10.
// in this case 9 does not equal 10, which returns true. Constant isWinner is set to true.

I would recommend re-watching your videos on operators. You want to be sure to have a good grasp on these concepts before moving forward.
