How could this be wrong !

var initialScore = 8

initialScore = initialScore + 1

let totalScore = initialScore

operators2.swift 
// Enter your code below

var initialScore = 8

initialScore = initialScore + 1

let totalScore = initialScore

The want you to do the totalscore & increment in 1 statement:

var initialScore = 8

let totalScore = ++initialScore

Cindy Lea is correct. Your code is functional but you missed this line in the instructions "let's add 1 point to their score using the increment operator". You must use the increment operator for this challenge. It's important to note though that as of Xcode 7.3 the increment operator will be deprecated, so don't get too used to using it in Swift.

:information_source: Code challenge specifications should be followed to the letter. Any deviation can cause the challenge to fail even if your code is functional outside the challenge. Happy coding! :smiley:
