JavaScript

Tell us what’s happening:

Your code so far


var myVar = 87;

// Only change code below this line
myVar = myVar + 2;
myVar = myVar - 1;
//

In this context, increase a number by one.

i am not allowed to change the code above the line but i have to increase 87 to 88 but it can not be plus one so how am i suppose to do it

4

also i still don’t know what an increment is (++)

++ is a shorthand way to increase a variable value by one
You could write a = a + 1 to increase a variable by 1, but a++ does the same thing and t is much shorter

In this case you need to change the way the value of the provided variable is rises by 1, and use the shorthand way instead
