Why isn't my computer understanding this human in this task of true or false?

} bool hasBonus; int powerPoints; powerPoints = 5; if (powerPoints < 3) { hasBonus = false; }

else{
    powerPoints >= 3;
    hasBonus = true;
    }
variable_assignment.mm 
bool hasBonus;
  int powerPoints;
powerPoints = 5;
  if (powerPoints < 3) {
        hasBonus = false;
    }

    else{
        powerPoints >= 3;
      hasBonus = true;
    }

bool hasBonus; int powerPoints = 5;

if (powerPoints < 3) { hasBonus = FALSE; } else { hasBonus = TRUE; }

Challenge Task 2 of 2

Change the value of powerPoints to 5. Then create an if else statement such that when 'powerPoints' is less than 3 'hasBonus' is false, but in all other cases 'hasBonus' is true.

Check the variable need to make only 1 time when you starts loop&

powerPoints >= 3; - it's too much

PS: I am sorry for my bad english ^_^

Hi Krill,

Thanks for your help. I wrote it down, and when I went back to Xcode to correct my version, I discovered that I had already figured it out and it was written just as you had specified.

Thank you, Mark
