Can someone please explain to me in further detail how exactly the addition assignment is working in this function? I understand the concept of the addition assignment and how it works, but for some reason I can't seem to wrap my brain around how it's working in this loop. I don't understand how that's creating the loop. Feelin' like it's an obvious answer... just can't seem to get there on my own... help! :) THANKS!

First loop
<h2>name of first pet</h2>
<h3>Type | Breed</h3>
<p>Age</p>
<img ....>
Second loop
<h2>name of first pet</h2>
<h3>Type | Breed</h3>
<p>Age</p>
<img ....>
<h2>name of second pet</h2>
<h3>Type | Breed</h3>
<p>Age</p>
<img ....>
Third loop
<h2>name of first pet</h2>
<h3>Type | Breed</h3>
<p>Age</p>
<img ....>
<h2>name of second pet</h2>
<h3>Type | Breed</h3>
<p>Age</p>
<img ....>
<h2>name of thridpet</h2>
<h3>Type | Breed</h3>
<p>Age</p>
<img ....>
etc..
In the end you got all the html code for all the pets in your pets.js.
