All I need help with is figuring out how to print congratulations when the user wins the game. it is very simple, but I am too worn out to figure it out as I've already tried for about an hour. Please help

The write the method: didUserWin() that returns true when the user has won.

public static boolean didUserWin() {
      if (didUserWin()) {
        System.out.println("Congratulations! You won!");
 
        return didUserWin;
      }

Why won't this work? I'm doing what you said but it keeps giving errors.
