Tell us what’s happening:

text.innerText concatenation says I need to use the concatenation operator. when i did it exactly like this in the function before.
I do not know what I am doing wrong on this step.

### Your code so far

function sellWeapon() {
  if (inventory.length > 1) {
    gold += 15;
    goldText.innerText = gold;
    let currentWeapon = inventory.shift();
    text.innerText += "You sold a  " + currentWeapon + ".";

  }
  
}

Hello!

Do you remember what “+=” is the short form of? Does it make sense to use it here when you actually just want to assign a new text to text.InnerText?

(Sorry for being so cryptic: To avoid getting marked as spoiler you learn to dance around :wink: here)

Oh no problem… I’m fine with updating the text… but the instructions specifically say to concatenate the current string in the text element. When i just try and update it, it says to use the concatenation operator.

You have two issues

No.1

You need to use the assignment operator here. Not the compound addition operator.

No.2
You need to remove this extra space here

It looks like you added two spaces instead of just one.

When I fix those things in your code passes for me

text.innerText += " In your inventory you have: " + inventory;
