== compares, = assigns. Mixing them is the classic beginner bug.

Task

Which one compares two values?

The editor already contains a starting point. Change it until every check passes — the Next task button unlocks when it does.

What you start with

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
    int a = 5;
    int b = 5;
    if (a == b) {
        cout << "equal" << endl;
    } else {
        cout << "different" << endl;
    }
    return 0;
}
