You were on the right track when you introduced a third tank, but your syntax got a bit messy after that.

I fixed your code, read through it and you will understand the importance of re-assigning the value of a variable

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
int aquariumDavid = 8;
int aquariumAlex = 11;
int complexaqurium = 0;

// your code goes here

complexaqurium = aquariumDavid;
aquariumDavid = aquariumAlex;
aquariumAlex = complexaqurium;

cout << "David's aquarium: " << aquariumDavid << endl;
cout << "Alex's aquarium: " << aquariumAlex;
return 0;
}

Answer 9

change complex to 8 change david to 11 change alex to complex(8)

So, i think i get it. You first put David into complex. Then you put alex into david. Then you put complex( which you put David into) into Alex. which would turn it into David. Correct?
