Chrome console shows: "Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token +="

I made the quizz correctly just when putting += to update the variable Chrome console is returning this message "Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token +=" making the program not working. When I changed to extended version for example: var correct = correct + 1; everything works fine. Anybody knows the answer why does not accept +=?

Did you copy/past any of the code? It could be a zero-width space.
