Freecodecamp: myVar++ not updating when code is changed

[khamp19]

Challenge increment-a-number-with-javascript has an issue.

Please describe how to reproduce this issue, and include links to screenshots if possible.

var myVar = 88;

// Only change code below this line
myVar = myVar++;

myVar++ is the same as writing myVar = myVar + 1. So just writing myVar++ will set myVar to 89, while myVar = myVar will set it to undefined.

Instructions say

The entire line becomes i++;, eliminating the need for the equal sign.

@khamp19 there are two things incorrect in your code. The one that others have mentioned, but also, you've manually changed the value of myVar to 88.

There is another bug for this challenge. I use the correct code and I can't get it to pass with

var myVar = 87;

// Only change code below this line
myVar++;

And I had an issue with the second test

myVar = myVar + 1; should be changed

The challenge test can be found on this line and essentially has this regex test

/myVar\s*\=.*myVar\s*\+\s*1/.test(code) === false

I'm on Chrome Version 58.0.3029.81 (64-bit). I'll leave this open for others in case it can be reproduced.

[charlesBak]

This challenge does not have any bug, solution of @erictleung pass the challenge.

[erictleung]

@charlesBak thanks for checking up on this. I am now unable to reproduce the error I've posted above. If someone else can verify this is the case, I will go ahead and close this issue as resolved.

this is the post increment so this incremented after assign for pre-increment use ++myVar

I am also having this problem. It will not verify that the line is changed for the second test.

[nagendrababu2]

var myVar = 87;

// Only change code below this line

myVar++;
var myVar;

This works fine give a try
