Does the answer here involve 'if statements'?

I am not sure whether I am supposed to use an 'if' statement to answer this challenge, since in the course it has not been taught yet. Was there a more simpler answer?

Hi there! Yes, there is a simple answer here and it does not involve an if statement. I believe the line you are most likely stuck on is this one:

let isWinner = initialScore != 10

This sets up a constant named isWinner per the challenge instructions. Then it looks at initialScore and compares it to 10. The result of this comparison will be assigned back into the isWinner constant. So if the score is 10, false will be assigned to isWinner. Otherwise, true will be assigned. Hope this helps! :sparkles:
