Hey Dylan Aresu,

Don't change the code required to pass Task 1, just update the value for powerPoints by assigning a new value on a separate line. Next, use YES and NO for true and false.

bool hasBonus;
int powerPoints = 0;

powerPoints = 5;

if (powerPoints < 3) {
  hasBonus = NO;
} else {
  hasBonus = YES;
}

Good Luck!

Oh man, I forgot about YES and NO in Objective-C... :P Been doing too much Swift lately. :)
