- Increment a Number with JavaScript -

JavaScript
1

Tell us what’s happening:
When I run the test it says myVar should equal 88. So why doesn’t it equal 88 when I add the ++ to myVar?

Your code so far


var myVar = 87;

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

You don’t need the assignment.

myVar++;

is the same as

myVar = myVar + 1;
