Stuck on Challenge Task

I am having a bit of a brain flop when it comes to figuring this out - and I am sure the solution will be glaringly obvious once pointed out. However, I would very much appreciate if someone could help me get past this. I've spent an embarrassingly high amount of time trying to figure this out!

Thank you so much.

Kind regards,

  • Rob.
operators2.swift 
// Enter your code below

var initialScore = 8
initialScore = ++initialScore

var totalScore = initialScore

Robert, you are close.

Here's the solution:

var initialScore = 8
let totalScore = ++initialScore

The exercise asks for a constant named totalScore, so you want to declare it with "let" rather than "var".
