This code means: If the number brilliant is assigned to is greater than the other number (if 1000 is greater than 100) set result to 'b'. Otherwise set result to 'o'. If result is 'b', set winner to 'b'. Otherwise, set winner to 'o'. If winner is 'b', say: Brilliant!. Otherwise, say: Not Brilliant! The result will be: Brilliant! You can test this in the 'coding environment' above the 'log-out' option.
