Treehouse TeacherHi there! The !
is sometimes called the negation operator. It takes a true or false value and flips it to the opposite So !true
is false and !false
is true.
Hope this helps!
edited for additional note*
If you want to convert this to English, you could say it as " let gameOver be set to not false". And what is not false? There is only one alternative, and that is true. A condition can only be false or true.
