### :checkered_flag: Problem Explanation:
|
||
|
|
```javascript
|
||
|
|
const increment = (function() {
|
||
|
|
"use strict";
|
||
|
|
return function increment(number, value) {
|
||
|
|
return number + value;
|
||
|
|
};
|
||
|
|
})();
|
||
|
|
console.log(increment(5, 2)); // returns 7
|
||
|
|
console.log(increment(5)); // returns NaN
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We'll be modifying the increment function so that the **number** parameter is incremented by 1 by default, by setting **value** to 1 if a value for **value** is not passed to the increment function.

})();

## Code Explanation
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* This section is pretty straightforward. Pass this section by setting the **value** parameter equal to 1. When the function comes across test cases where **value** has not been passed anything, then **value** will be assigned one by default.
