// Enter your code below

does not equal 10 and assign it to the variable isWinner
, and you're almost there.
Right now the code is trying to assign "not 10"
to the variable initialScore
instead of checking the value. This is because the = sign by itself is an assignment operator. To check to is if something is not the value, you would use !=
for "not equals".
Once you fix up that part of the code initialScore = !10
to initialScore != 10
it will pass.
Nice work so far!! :)
