I can't get this challenge to work. I've tried both var totalScore = ++initialScore and totalScore = initialScore++

I've tried both doing:

var totalScore = ++initialScore and var totalScore = initialScore++

operators2.swift 
// Enter your code below

var initialScore = 8

var totalScore = ++initialScore

You forgot that "totalScore" has to be a constant. Hope this helps!

Yes, I spotted that one right after the post. I had to calm down a little to see that.

++ won't work in swift 3, but you won't pass with this answer:

var initialScore = 8 var totalScore = initialScore totalScore += 1

I did pass but now with this answer. This was just part of the process of getting to the answer. Thanks.
