Hi Catherine, Hmmm. It still feels a bit awkward to me compared to the 'in place' version of plus3. Any suggestions to extend the scalar examples to vector or matrix (without suggesting an order of operation), or should we just use this style for scalar and change the process for vector and matrix?
