Python Web Development Techdegree Graduate 29,349 PointsHI Becky,
Your code is compiling because a var takes more memory in the app because the app has to check if it changed all the time. But a yellow error just means you could do something better, not that something is wrong. So your code should run fine, but if you change the var to let, the errors should disappear.
Hope this helped out,
Greets, Jari

Try changing those to var declarations to lets if they are never mutated. Next, you should do a product clean. Finally, do you mean to have that breakpoint on line 28? Drag the blue arrow on the line number off of it to remove it.
