The left-hand side of an assignment must be a variable, property or indexer

I wrote this code to count player score and keep player highscore but for some reason on line 37, column 27, it says "High Score: " is wrong and gives me this error: “The left-hand side of an assignment must be a variable, property or indexer”. Any help is welcome! Here’s all the code:

public Text scoretext;
public Text hscoretext;

public float scorecount;
public float hscorecount;

public float PPS;

public bool SI;

void Start()
{
if(PlayerPrefs.HasKey("HighScore"))
{
    hscorecount = PlayerPrefs.GetFloat("HighScore");
}
}

void Update()
{

    scorecount += PPS * Time.deltaTime;
    
    if(scorecount > hscorecount){
        hscorecount = scorecount;
        PlayerPrefs.SetFloat("HighScore", hscorecount);
    }

    scoretext.text = "Score: " + Mathf.Round (scorecount);
    hscoretext.text = "High Score: " = hscorecount;
}

Take a very close look at your last line there. How does it differ from the previous line? If you double click on the error message it will also show you exactly where the problem is.

hscoretext.text = "High Score: " = hscorecount;

Should be

hscoretext.text = "High Score: " + hscorecount;
