So the use of the var keyword is used to initially create a variable (as is let and const, as you’ll learn later). But what that means for you? You don’t need to re-allocate that memory space, so remove the var from those lines.

Also, don’t set b = 7. They don’t ask you to set it to 7, they ask you to set it to a.
