Mastering Shorthand

Mission Briefing

The arena scoreboard is manually operated, and the scorekeepers are exhausting themselves writing score = score + 10. You must implement a faster shorthand system!

The Concept: Assignment Operators

When we want to update an existing variable, JavaScript provides "Shorthand" assignment operators to make our code cleaner:

• x += 5 (Add 5 to current x)
• x -= 2 (Subtract 2 from current x)
• x++ (Increment exactly by 1)

The Objective

Your function receives a starting score.

1. Add 10 to the score using the += shorthand.
2. Increment the result by 1 using the ++ shorthand.
3. Return the final updated score.
