--description--

The /= operator divides a variable by another number.

js
myVar = myVar / 5;

Will divide myVar by 5. This can be rewritten as:

js
myVar /= 5;

--instructions--

Convert the assignments for a, b, and c to use the /= operator.

--hints--

a should equal 4.

js
assert(a === 4);

b should equal 27.

js
assert(b === 27);

c should equal 3.

js
assert(c === 3);

You should use the /= operator for each variable.

js
assert(__helpers.removeJSComments(code).match(/\/=/g).length === 3);

You should not modify the code above the specified comment.

js
assert(
  /let a = 48;/.test(__helpers.removeJSComments(code)) &&
    /let b = 108;/.test(__helpers.removeJSComments(code)) &&
    /let c = 33;/.test(__helpers.removeJSComments(code))
);

--seed--

--seed-contents--

js
let a = 48;
let b = 108;
let c = 33;

// Only change code below this line
a = a / 12;
b = b / 4;
c = c / 11;

--solutions--

js
let a = 48;
let b = 108;
let c = 33;

a /= 12;
b /= 4;
c /= 11;
