You lack a backslash after your tab.

“FirstLine\n\t\SecondLine\nThirdLine”; // Change this line
even after adding the backslash it didn’t work. See if you can find where I’m going wrong kindly.

That is not the correct way to add a backslash. Read through the notes provided in the lesson,you will see how to add a backslash.

Would you mind to do it for me…maybe that way I’ll know where I’m going wrong.

Unfortunately I can’t do that cause you won’t learn,I know it’s frustrating but with the frustrations comes great leaning. Which challenge are you facing.Let me see your updated code.

You add a backslash by using these characters \\

In case you can’t locate the character,it is just beside your enter keyboard button.

OK,your code has some quotes,I don’t know if I should call them so,those quotes do not resemble the normal double quotes I know,I had to change them while correcting your code.Furthermore,after your tab add a backslash,use the characters that I have shown you in the reply above.

OK thank you. I really appreciate. If I face another challenge I’ll let you know.
