1,346 PointsAuto incrementing Unstable
In the quiz I'm asked to auto increment Unstable. Currently unstable = 25. Then it was reduced by 5 (unstable -= 5) and now I'm being asked to auto increment "unstable," but for the life of me I can't figure it out. Help.

variableName++;

42,016 PointsHere is a hint: you need to use the auto incrementing operator which is ++. use the postfix style syntax.

1,346 PointsI thought I did...
Here is what I tried:
unstable = ++
unstable += 1
and neither were successful.
Thanks!

1,346 PointsDo you mean like this:
unstable = 25++
Stone Preston
42,016 Pointsno, to auto increment a variable all you need to do is
variableName++;
you dont need an equal sign, or any specific number values.
