I don't get this one. I've tried the following let isWinner = false isWinner != 10

Hello Dara. The challenge wants us to assign isWinner a boolean value of "true" or "false," depending on the comparison between the score and 10. If the score equals 10, they lose. This means it would be false because there would not be a winner. In contrast, if the score is not 10, it equals true because there is a winner. We use the NOT operator to compare:

let isWinner = initialScore != 10

Since the score equals 9(remember we added one earlier in Task 1), the comparison evaluates to true. Therefore, we have a winner! Hope this clears things up! :)

Oh, wow! Thanks Tiwong!! I didn't even think about the previous statements using initialScore variable. I appreciate your quick response. It makes sense now.
