# --description--
You can easily <dfn>increment</dfn> or add one to a variable with the `++` operator.
```js
i++;
```
is the equivalent of
```js
i = i + 1;
```
**Note:** The entire line becomes `i++;`, eliminating the need for the equal sign.
# --instructions--
Change the code to use the `++` operator on `myVar`.
# --hints--
`myVar` should equal `88`.
```js
assert(myVar === 88);
```
You should not use the assignment operator.
```js
assert(
/let\s*myVar\s*=\s*87;\s*\/*.*\s*([+]{2}\s*myVar|myVar\s*[+]{2});/.test(code)
);
```
You should use the `++` operator.
```js
assert(/[+]{2}\s*myVar|myVar\s*[+]{2}/.test(code));
```
You should not change code above the specified comment.
```js
assert(/let myVar = 87;/.test(code));
```
# --seed--
## --after-user-code--
```js
(function(z){return 'myVar = ' + z;})(myVar);
```
## --seed-contents--
```js
let myVar = 87;
// Only change code below this line
myVar = myVar + 1;
```
# --solutions--
```js
let myVar = 87;
myVar++;
```
