Treehouse Project ReviewerHello Sean Marevanhema so the issue you are running into is
let points = 100;
bonusPts = 50;
let points += bonusPts;
console.log(points);
On line 1 you declare you points
variable and assign it the value of 100.
However on line 3 it looks like you are trying to declare another variable named points
but since points
was already declared on line 1 it will error out.
If you like what you can do is move the let
keyword from line 3 to line 2. That way the points
variable can be updated with its new value on line 3.
Or since bonusPts
will always be 50 you could keep the initial const
keyword that was there
