Hello,

Can someone explain to me what “xp” is, in the answer to this question? I understand most of the code, but I assumed xp would be a variable, but we never declared a variable called “xp” anywhere else in the code, so I’m not sure what it means, or what exactly it’s function is in the code.

Thank you!

Your code so far
