Following this pattern, use the addition operator (+) to add a random number between 1 and the value of xp to your monsterHealth -= weapons[currentWeaponIndex].power.

For this step to pass you must not add another variable with a random number value.
Instead add the random call to the same line that the editor started you with at the beginning of this step (reset to see which one).

Hi Nigina,

From your code, I can see your answer for:

a random number between 1 and the value of xp

is:

Math.floor(Math.random() * xp) + 1

That is correct!

Now, what the instruction means by:

use the addition operator (+) to add a random number between 1 and the value of xp to your monsterHealth -= weapons[currentWeaponIndex].power

is like this:

monsterHealth -= weapons[currentWeaponIndex].power + YOUR_RANDOM_NUMBER

Side note;

a -= b + c

is equivalent to

a -= (b + c)

is equivalent to

a = a - b - c

Hope this helps.
