Can someone please explain to me in further detail how exactly the addition assignment is working in this function?

Can someone please explain to me in further detail how exactly the addition assignment is working in this function? I understand the concept of the addition assignment and how it works, but for some reason I can't seem to wrap my brain around how it's working in this loop. I don't understand how that's creating the loop. Feelin' like it's an obvious answer... just can't seem to get there on my own... help! :) THANKS!

Not quite sure what you mean about "I don't understand how that's creating the loop.", but the addition assignment simply adds an <h2>, <h3>, <p>, and <img> element for every pet object from your pets.js in every loop. Like this:

First loop

<h2>name of first pet</h2>
<h3>Type | Breed</h3>
<p>Age</p>
<img ....>

Second loop

<h2>name of first pet</h2>
<h3>Type | Breed</h3>
<p>Age</p>
<img ....>
<h2>name of second pet</h2>
<h3>Type | Breed</h3>
<p>Age</p>
<img ....>

Third loop

<h2>name of first pet</h2>
<h3>Type | Breed</h3>
<p>Age</p>
<img ....>
<h2>name of second pet</h2>
<h3>Type | Breed</h3>
<p>Age</p>
<img ....>
<h2>name of thridpet</h2>
<h3>Type | Breed</h3>
<p>Age</p>
<img ....>

etc..

In the end you got all the html code for all the pets in your pets.js.

Thank you!! This helps!!
