This code doesn't seem to reveal the hidden card locations which I guessed. What can I do to fix this?

Treehouse StaffHey Benjamin Cha 👋
There seems to be an issue in the conditional of your check_match
method. Currently you're using the comparison operator instead of setting the value of matched
to be True
. After changing those ==
to be =
instead your game starts working as expected on my end 😁
Hope this helps!
