height += 10;

Steven Parker
231,236 PointsYou're done with "heightInput" now that you passed the previous task. Now you only need to increase the converted value by 10.
Try one of the suggestions I made above.
Manuel Alvarez
5,383 PointsI used your example, height += 10; and it gives me a try again answer. I typed it the way you put it.
Steven Parker
231,236 PointsIf I paste that line directly into the challenge after yours, it passes task 2. Note that if you put it in before the task 1 validation, it produces the wrong value for that step and would indeed result in a "try again".

5,383 PointsYou are right. Thank you so much for your help and patients.
