Adding scores to a variable
I am new to coding and I have completed Codecademy’s HTML, CSS and Javascript courses, and now I am making a very simple game.
I am trying to add 5 to my variable score, but I don’t know how! I can use ++score
to add 1, but I don’t know how to add 5.
My simplified code for adding 1 is:
<html> <head> <title>Webpage</title> <script> var score = 0; function add1() { alert("Adding +1 to your score!"); ++score; alert(score); }; </script> </head> <body> <button onclick="add1()";> Add One </button> </body> </html>
Answer
function add1() { alert("Adding +5 to your score!"); score = score + 5; alert(score); };
