Tell us what’s happening:

Hi, I am struggling with inserting the greater to or equal equation stated, into a boolean expression. I initially tried If (true) {code to run}, but this doesn’t (I believe!) fit into an array. From googling ‘boolean expression’ new Boolean() and Boolean() are available functions. I have also tried the >= inequality on its own, (), and with !, !!. My final best guess is after using || && with true false combinations.
player.position.x >= platform.postion.x - player.width / 2 && true

thanks!

Your code so far

<!-- file: index.html -->


/* file: styles.css */


/* file: script.js */
// User Editable Region


    const platformDetectionRules = [
   player.position.x >= platform.postion.x - player.width / 2 && true
    ];


// User Editable Region

You have a typo. Also as any direct comparison will automatically return a Boolean, you don’t need to include anything but the comparison itself. I think it was only failing for you originally because of the typo.

Thank you for the full explanation - and sorry for raising a query on a typo! I must have re-typed that a few times, so thanks for getting back.
