I am trying to create a simple tally counter and submission app. I am having trouble creating counters that only count 1 click at a time. I have included my block code.

When i click the count button, it first counts by 1, then 2, then it starts doubling the number. Any thoughts on this?!

Hey @jared!

The problem is on your block change app TheCountVariable.

What you are doing is basically this operation: x + (x+1) being x your variable

What you have to do is just replace the sum for a ‘1’ or the integer you want to sum it to every time to click the button 🙂

Good luck! 🙂
