Plus Equals
Python makes reassignment easy when doing math. In JavaScript or Go, you might be familiar with the ++ syntax for incrementing a number variable by 1. In Python, we use the += in-place operator instead.
star_rating = 4
star_rating += 1
# star_rating is now 5
Other Operators
The other in-place operators work similarly:
star_rating = 4
star_rating -= 1
# star_rating is now 3
star_rating = 4
star_rating *= 2
# star_rating is now 8
star_rating = 4
star_rating /= 2
# star_rating is now 2.0
Assignment
Complete the get_hurt function. It should use the -= in-place operator to subtract damage from current_health and then return the new current_health.
You cannot use -= in a return statement. Set the variable first, and then return it after!
