What problem are you having? The code you have there has no modification.

“Convert the assignments for a , b , and c to use the += operator.”

i don’t understand that why

Like stated in the challenge having myVar = myVar + 5; is the same as having myVar += 5, you just have to change a, b and c to +=

please show me the solution
