Learn Basic JavaScript by Building a Role Playing Game - Step 156

Tell us what’s happening:

Remember that the increment operator ++ can be used to increase a variable’s value by 1. There is also a decrement operator – that can be used to decrease a variable’s value by 1. For example :

Example Code
let num = 10;
num–;
console.log(num); // Output: 9
Decrement the value of currentWeaponIndex in your if statement, after you update the text.
