Assign the value 7 to variable a.

Assign the contents of a to variable b.

Do not change code above the line
a should have a value of 7
b should have a value of 7
a should be assigned to b with =

b=7;

// Setup

var a;

var b = 2;

// Only change code below this line
7
b=7;

a=b;

​//the only one that shows up as incorrect is the “a should be assigned to b with =” requirement.

a should be assigned to b means b=a. You’ve assigned it the other way, a=b. While technically it does the same thing, it looks like they want to teach you some code ordering.

So, I would rewrite it this way:

a = 7;
b = a;

If that doesn’t pass, I’d love to have a look at the actual challenge… if a public link is available.
