Describe your issue in detail here.

Your code so far


let myVar = 87;

// Only change code below this line
myVar = myVar + 1;
myVar++;

I don’t understand your question.

Your code doesn’t work. The failing test says:

myVar should equal 88.

If I add this to the bottom of your code, I can see it is indeed failing that test:

console.log(myVar);
// 89

I don’t understand what you are asking with:

Could someone please explain to me why the answer is not myVar++; …?

I don’t understand the question because it can be. Can you show us the complete code that you think should pass but doesn’t?

Thanks for your response. My answer to the challenge was “myVar++;” Does this help?

Hi,
i think, the test does not work because you have to delete “myVar = myVar + 1”, which you replace with “myVar++”.
