The Result Should 88 but it appear to be 87 ,Can see on the screenshots

My code:

var myVar = 87;

// Only change code below this line
myVar = myVar++ ;

Hi can someone please explain how: myVar = myVar should be changed
means: that i should create a new variable "myVar1"
myVar1 = ++myVar;

Would it not be better to give the instruction of:
Now create a new variable myVar1 and assign the incremented myVar to it
