Welcome liamedwardh.

I believe you need a var before you try to reassign var a.

For example, `var a = b;

Try that and see if that helps.

Hello there @liamedwardh,

Let’s look at back at the instructions:

  • It asks you to assign 7 to variable a. That means you want to give a a value of 7. Here’s an example: var randomNum = 15.
  • Then it asks you to assign the contents of a to variable b. In your code, you’re trying to assign b to a, So you can fix it just by flipping the assignment around.

Hope this helps :slight_smile: Happy Coding!!
