```auto
onClipEvent (load) {
_root.laps = 0;
_root.lastc = 3;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (this.hitTest(_root.car)) {
if (_root.lastc == 3) {
_root.laps++;
_root.lastc = 0;
}
}

I noticed when any code can get reduced and when that is.
It looks alot more easy to understand
One thing i dont know what it means.
```
if (_root.lastc>1) {
_root.lastc = 1;
}
```
I noticed this symbol
**\>**
And i have no idea what it is.
Can you put it in the whole sentence of what its doing in the code i gave youu.
It would help me on my Racin game

You don’t know what \\>\ means?!?!?!?
That is like 5th grade math :-\
It stands for “greater than”. So that line of code there says
If \_root.lastc is greater than 1, \_root.lastc equals 1.
Here are some basic operators.
\< : less than
== : is equal to
\<= : is less than OR equal to
\>= : is greater than OR equal to.
