Quiz JavaScript Loops

Quiz Question 1 of 6 Please fill in the correct answer in each blank provided below.

Fill in the blank(s) below:
Complete this code by including the shorthand operator that increases the value assigned to counter by one each time through the loop:

let counter = 0; do { console.log('I love JavaScript!'); counter _______ ; } while ( counter <= 9)

I thought the blank should be += 1 but it keeps on telling me that it is incorrect. Why?

I think the question is looking for a specific shorthand operator, not an operator combined with a value. Try the increment operator "++".

The question accepts ++ without the quotes.
