Tell us what’s happening:
Your code so far
var a = 11;
var b = 9;
var c = 3;
// Only modify code below this line
a = a - 6;
b = b - 15;
c = c - 1;

You didn’t put anything in the “Tell us what’s happening” section. Please tell us what is going on and what steps you have tried to fix it.
can someone just tell me what it is
Here’s the instructions and hint again:
Like the += operator, -= subtracts a number from a variable.
myVar = myVar - 5;
will subtract 5 from myVar. This can be rewritten as:
myVar -= 5;
The most important part there is
This can be rewritten as: myVar -= 5;
That’s all you have to do for the question - look for any parts that have thing = thing - otherthing
and rewrite as thing -= otherthing
Out of interest how did you do the previous exercise involving +=
?
