Tell us what’s happening:

Why is this wrong ? the decrement is in the if statement

Your code so far

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

health -= getMonsterAttackValue(monsters[fighting].level);
if (isMonsterHit()) {
monsterHealth -=
weapons[currentWeapon].power + Math.floor(Math.random() * xp) + 1;
} else {
text.innerText += " You miss.“;
}
healthText.innerText = health;
monsterHealthText.innerText = monsterHealth;
if (health <= 0) {
lose();
} else if (monsterHealth <= 0) {
fighting === 2 ? winGame() : defeatMonster();
}
if (Math.random() <= 0.1) {
text.innerText += " Your " + inventory.pop() + " breaks.”;
–currentWeapon;
}
}

hello! @coloradoz99

The correct syntax for decrement is variable_name-- ;

Good luck!
