389 PointsI too could not figure out the final code challenge
Everyone that answered on Jonathan Boisvert's post who had the same question was incorrect.
We have this
var initialScore = 8 initialScore += 1
and we're supposed to declare a constant named isWinner to not equal 10
let isWinner = !10 does not work because "Cannot convert value of type 'Int' to expected argument type 'Bool'"

1,053 PointsYou need to assign a boolean value to "isWinner". We use the comparison
initialScore != 10
to determine if the score is equal to 10 or not. Then, that boolean value gets assigned to isWinner like so:
let isWinner = initialScore != 10
The answer on the other post is correct.

595 PointsAn alternative solution:
let initialScore = 0
iniitalScore += 1
let isWinner = !(initial Score = 10)
So, the final line will negate whatever initial Score = 10
is. If initial Score = 10
is true, then winner=false
. If initial Score = 10
is false, then winner=true

47,913 PointsThis isn't connected to any specific code challenge (instead, a video), so I can't really say whether or not this'll pass the challenge you're working on, but your code will not compile in Swift. Swift is different from its C-family predecessors in that it doesn't treat booleans as integers where 0
is false
and everything else is true
. A Swift Bool
is its own distinct type that can't be converted directly to an Int
and vice-versa using any operators, like the boolean inversion operator (!
). While writing something like !10
is perfectly valid in Objective-C, it doesn't work in Swift. Based on what you've pasted in from the question, I'm guessing that the challenge wants you to check if a variable *is not equal to 10
, which is a different operator. You can check if a value is not equal to another value with the not-equal comparison operator (!=
), like this:
let someValue = 8
let first = someValue != 20 // first is true
let second = someValue != 8 // second is false
