Hi you just need to call the gold variable after the “+=” assignment

Ex : text.innerText = variable;

variable += 10; do the same result of : variable = variable + 10;

Your code seems correct regarding updating the goldText.innerText. However, if it’s not working as expected, there might be a couple of reasons:

1: Ensure that goldText is correctly referencing the HTML element where you want to display the gold value. Double-check that you’re selecting the element using the correct ID or class, and verify that it exists in your HTML document.

2: If the goldText element is being modified before it’s rendered in the DOM, the changes won’t be reflected. Make sure your JavaScript code is executed after the DOM is fully loaded, either by placing your <script> tag at the end of the HTML body or wrapping your JavaScript code in a DOMContentLoaded event listener.

document.addEventListener(“DOMContentLoaded”, function() {
// Your code here
});
use this line code may be it will work. By addressing these potential issues, you should be able to resolve the problem with updating the goldText.innerText

Hii!

Everything is right with your code, it is just not necessary to put any strings in the goldText.innerText. Also, make sure to check the semicolons!
