Hi,

Could you provide more details? What exactly is unclear for you?

The assignment is:

Assign the value 7 to variable a .
Assign the contents of a to variable b .

//Setup
var a;
var b = 2;

// Only change code below this line
a = 7
var b = a

I ran the test but it says " a should be assigned to b with = "
not quite sure what I have done wrong

I guess this happens because you’ve declared the b variable more than one time.

//Setup
var a;
var b = 2; // the first time here

// Only change code below this line
a = 7
var b = a // the second is here

Try to delete the var keyword from the statement var b = a and re-run the tests. (do not forget to add the semi colon onto the end)

Thank you very much for your help!
