Hi @subhadra,

You don’t need to do use == or = operator in this challenge. You just simply need to use the increment operator as mentioned in the challenge.

Note that myVar = myVar + 1; is exactly same as doing myVar++;

On a different note: == and = are two different operator.
== is a loose equality operator (checks value and datatype of the operands) whereas = is an assignment operator. Example: a = b, so value of b variable is assigned to variable a.
