Stuck on lesson 4 — I think I have misunderstood step three entirely

I can follow the video right up until the point where the second value gets reused, and then I lose the thread completely. Have watched it four times. Is there a different way of thinking about it?

    You have not misunderstood, the lesson skips a step. The second value is not being reused, it is being replaced — the name just stays the same. Once you see that the rest falls out.

    That is it. Four hours and it was one word. Thank you.

    Noted — I will add a line to the lesson. This is the third time it has caught somebody.
