## Description
<section id='description'>
You can easily <dfn>decrement</dfn> or decrease a variable by one with the <code>--</code> operator.
<code>i--;</code>
is the equivalent of
<code>i = i - 1;</code>
<strong>Note</strong><br>The entire line becomes <code>i--;</code>, eliminating the need for the equal sign.
</section>
## Instructions
<section id='instructions'>
Change the code to use the <code>--</code> operator on <code>myVar</code>.
</section>
## Tests
<section id='tests'>
```yml
tests:
- text: <code>myVar</code> should equal <code>10</code>
testString: assert(myVar === 10);
- text: <code>myVar = myVar - 1;</code> should be changed
testString: assert(/var\s*myVar\s*=\s*11;\s*\/*.*\s*([-]{2}\s*myVar|myVar\s*[-]{2});/.test(code));
- text: Use the <code>--</code> operator on <code>myVar</code>
testString: assert(/[-]{2}\s*myVar|myVar\s*[-]{2}/.test(code));
- text: Do not change code above the line
testString: assert(/var myVar = 11;/.test(code));
```
</section>
