You are close… remember, you only need to declare myStr once!

so, brother, you are doing a mistake in line 5 .
you have to append someAdjective to myStr but you are doing two mistakes

  1. you are declaring a new variable to store it which could be done but no need to do here .
    and
  2. you are declaring a variable with the same name using var which is an error in javascript you can do it with other key word like let also not needed here.

what to do then

var someAdjective = "worthwhile";

var myStr = "Learning to code is ";

myStr += someAdjective;





console.log(myStr)//output: Learning to code is worthwhile

this is going to append the someAdjective with the myStr and also going to store it in the existing myStr variable .

hope this will help . :slightly_smiling_face:
