Challenge Task 1 of 2
Let's assume we're creating a silly game. In this game every time a user completes an objective (whatever it is) we increment their total score by 1 point.
In the editor below, initialScore is the players current score. Assuming they completed a single objective for this level, let's add 1 point to their score using the increment operator and assign the result to a constant named totalScore.
Remember that the position of the unary increment operator matters. For this task to pass, we want both totalScore and initialScore to have the same value after the increment operation.
// Enter your code below
var initialScore = 8
var totalScore = initialScore
initialScore = initialScore + 1
initialScore = ++totalScore

10,101 PointsHi Matt,
All you are being asked to do is to create a new constant called totalScore and assign it the initialScore plus one using the increment operator.
If you do that it looks like this.
var initialScore = 8
let totalScore = ++initialScore
I hope that helps,
Mike
