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)
I've tried virtually everything but I don't know what I'm doing wrong
var initialScore = 8 initialScore += 1
let isWinner = (initialScore != 10)

28,407 PointsLooks like you have it to me. You don't have to have the parentheses, but they're fine. The only issue I see is if you're going to put var initialScore = 8 and initialScore += 1 on the same line you need to separate them with a semicolon. This is nearly the only use for a semicolon in Swift.
Below works for me:
var initialScore = 8
initialScore += 1
let isWinner = initialScore != 10
If this doesn't work for you you should either try a different browser or contact support.
