Tell us what’s happening:
Describe your issue in detail here.
I’m failing on this task : You should not use the assignment operator.

Your code so far


let myVar = 87;

// Only change code below this line
myVar = myVar + 1;
myVar = 87;
myVar++;

These two lines are using the assignment operator (=):

myVar = myVar + 1;
myVar = 87;

The instructions were:

Change the code to use the ++ operator on myVar .

You we supposed to change the bottom line, which was:

myVar = myVar + 1;

Don’t add lines after this, change this line.

Hint: try the code below :point_down:t4:
redacted
And then tell if it worked :sunglasses:.

It’s great that you want to help out, but please don’t give the answers, especially on challenges. We try to guide people to finding the answer.

Do not reassign value to myVar.
Code line below comment is already doing the increment by one in myVar. You need to modify it by using the “++” operator. Simply use increment operator instead of assignment (=) operator.
e.g.
let a = 5;
// inreament
a++;
