## Description
There is a shorthand way to add or subtract from a variable called compound assignment. The long way to add to a variable is `num = num + 5`. The shorthand way is `num += 5`. It works the same way with subtraction.
Update both lines inside the `buyHealth` function to use compound assignment.
