# --description--
As a reminder, this project is being built upon the following starter project on [Replit](https://replit.com/github/freeCodeCamp/boilerplate-mochachai), or cloned from [GitHub](https://github.com/freeCodeCamp/boilerplate-mochachai/).
`isTrue()` will test for the boolean value `true` and `isNotTrue()` will pass when given anything but the boolean value of `true`.
```js
assert.isTrue(true, 'This will pass with the boolean value true');
assert.isTrue('true', 'This will NOT pass with the string value "true"');
assert.isTrue(1, 'This will NOT pass with the number value 1');
```
`isFalse()` and `isNotFalse()` also exist, and behave similarly to their true counterparts except they look for the boolean value of `false`.
# --instructions--
Within `tests/1_unit-tests.js` under the test labelled `#4` in the `Basic Assertions` suite, change each `assert` to either `assert.isTrue` or `assert.isNotTrue` to make the test pass (should evaluate to `true`). Do not alter the arguments passed to the asserts.
# --hints--
All tests should pass.
```js
(getUserInput) =>
$.get(getUserInput('url') + '/_api/get-tests?type=unit&n=3').then(
(data) => {
assert.equal(data.state, 'passed');
},
(xhr) => {
throw new Error(xhr.responseText);
}
);
```
You should choose the correct method for the first assertion - `isTrue` vs. `isNotTrue`.
```js
(getUserInput) =>
$.get(getUserInput('url') + '/_api/get-tests?type=unit&n=3').then(
(data) => {
assert.equal(data.assertions[0].method, 'isTrue', 'True is true');
},
(xhr) => {
throw new Error(xhr.responseText);
}
);
```
You should choose the correct method for the second assertion - `isTrue` vs. `isNotTrue`.
```js
(getUserInput) =>
$.get(getUserInput('url') + '/_api/get-tests?type=unit&n=3').then(
(data) => {
assert.equal(
data.assertions[1].method,
'isTrue',
'Double negation of a truthy value is true'
);
},
(xhr) => {
throw new Error(xhr.responseText);
}
);
```
You should choose the correct method for the third assertion - `isTrue` vs. `isNotTrue`.
```js
(getUserInput) =>
$.get(getUserInput('url') + '/_api/get-tests?type=unit&n=3').then(
(data) => {
assert.equal(
data.assertions[2].method,
'isNotTrue',
'A truthy object is not true - neither is a false one'
);
},
(xhr) => {
throw new Error(xhr.responseText);
}
);
```
