Sometimes what you are instructed to do is different from what is listed in the checklist. Usually I just do what is on the checklist but this challenge (Understanding Uninitialized Variables) appears to behave differently. I did what was on the checklist but it didn't let me go forward. So I followed the instructions instead this time and it worked.\r\n\r\n#### Browser Information\r\n* Chrome, 49\r\n* Android\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n#### Screenshot\r\n(No upload button here)"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/FreeCodeCamp/FreeCodeCamp/issues/comments/198687286","html_url":"https://github.com/FreeCodeCamp/FreeCodeCamp/issues/7628#issuecomment-198687286","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/FreeCodeCamp/FreeCodeCamp/issues/7628","id":198687286,"user":{"login":"alistermada","id":12993334,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/12993334?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/alistermada","html_url":"https://github.com/alistermada","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/alistermada/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/alistermada/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/alistermada/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/alistermada/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/alistermada/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/alistermada/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/alistermada/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/alistermada/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/alistermada/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-03-19T11:24:46Z","updated_at":"2016-03-19T11:24:46Z","body":"The tests (checklists) are the expected output of your code, while the instructions are what you should do in your code. They are not the same thing.\r\n\r\nIn [Understanding Uninitialized Variables](https://www.freecodecamp.com/challenges/understanding-uninitialized-variables), you need to consider the bottom half of the code:\r\n```\r\n// Do not change code below this line\r\n\r\na = a + 1;\r\nb = b + 5;\r\nc = c + \" String!\";\r\n```\r\n\r\nThe instructions tell you to initialize `a` to 5. After that, it will run `a = a + 1` which makes `a` equal to 6 by the end of your code. This is why the first test says that `a` should have a value of 6."}}
