Tell us what’s happening: I’m stuck but I’m sure I have the right code…?

Your code so far

function attack() {
  text.innerText = "The " + monsters[fighting].name + " attacks.";
  text.innerText = " You attack it with your " + weapons[currentWeapon].name + ".";
}

My Code:

function attack() {
  text.innerText = "The " + monsters[fighting].name + " attacks.";
  text.innerText = " You attack it with your " + weapons[currentWeapon].name + ".";
}

You’re close.

you are using the wrong operator here though

@sunshinemintlime

text.innerText =

What your current line of code is doing is replacing the text with

@sunshinemintlime

" You attack it with your " + weapons[currentWeapon].name + "."

what you want to do instead is add to the text.

that is where you can use the compound assignment operator

Hint: you used this operator on line 133 of this project
