if you run your code in an xcode playground the compiler will help you with the fix. the constant totalScore needs to be a variable

var initialScore = 8
initialScore = initialScore + 1

var totalScore = initialScore
totalScore = ++initialScore

ok i know that and this way it works in Xcode but its telling me to make totalScore a constant and then change it, even though constant can't be changed
