Hello!

You have a small problem with the quotes. Just before the ;, you have this character ”, which is not expected. The correct double quotes are these: ".

The difference may be subtle to us, but for the code interpreter is very different

Also, if you have problems with your code, check the console to see if there’s any indication of a problem, see here:

SyntaxError: unknown: Unterminated string constant. (1:12)

> 1 | var myStr = "I am a \"double quoted\" string inside \"double quotes\".”; // Change this line
    |             ^

The error means that you didn’t close the string correctly (by using a different character).
