How does this not equal ten?

What am I doing wrong in this challenge task?

var ten = c * b + b;

Hi Zhihao,

That passes for me. Where did you put it in relation to the other code? Did you initially get it wrong and then corrected it? Try refreshing the challenge if that's the case.

I put it right after var three with a correctly put comma.

I've redone the task a few times, still get error.

Maybe it's a temporary glitch with the code challenge then. I literally copied and pasted your code into the challenge after passing task 1 and your code passed.

What error message are you getting?

Did you end the var three statement with a comma or a semicolon?

This passes through task 2 for me:

var three = c - a;
var ten = c * b + b;

Of course, you may have something different for var three

var three = b + a,
       ten = c * b + b;

I'll try again I guess.

** Update

It works now, must be a glitch **

The challenge doesn't seem to like doing it that way.

Check the code I previously posted.

Yea, I just used your version, weird how the comma glitches out that way. Thanks though.

You're welcome.

Your code worked in the console for me but not the challenge.
