Your code was almost correct. You just didn’t allow for spaces between some of the words.

5

I have adjusted the spaces and It still did not work

6

Can you show your updated code please?

7

const myStr = “I am a " double quoted "string inside " double quotes ".”; // Change this line

8

Why have you removed the backslashes?

9

const myStr = “I am a " double quoted "string inside " \double quotes ".”; // Change this line

The first code you posted was almost correct. You need to follow the challenge instructions and use backslashes to escape all of the quote marks inside the string correctly. You did this all correctly in your first code. The only issue was that you didn’t put spaces between some of the words.
