Hello guys, please can i get some help here.
I have written this code over and over again but it seems to be an error
d// Example
var ourStr = "I come first. ";
ourStr += "I come second.";
// Only change code below this line
var myStr = "This is the first sentence. ";
myStr += "This is the second sentence.";

Your code is legit and it passes the test. Try to disable firefox plugins that could interfere or try it from a different browser.
d// Example
Remove the leading “d” there.

Actually am using chrome browser. How do i disable the firefox plugin. but the code is working in my text editor.
Yet still it telling me to Use the += operator to build myStr
Sorry, I intended your browser not firefox. If you have plugins installed sometime these interfere with the correct execution of the test program. Try first to open and execute your code from a clean installation of an other browser like firefox.
I supposed it was a typo during copy paste, isn’t it?
it works
@archer_miles
Did you remove the example code or are you using this exact code block?
// Example
var ourStr = "I come first. ";
ourStr += "I come second.";
// Only change code below this line
var myStr = "This is the first sentence. ";
myStr += "This is the second sentence.";

Yeah I imagine so but worth mentioning just in case I figured =).

I have removed that example, my code says
var myStr = "This is the first sentence. ";
myStr += “This is the second sentence.”;
But the test is telling me to still use the += operator
You have to leave the example. Copy the block above and try it.

This code is the same as my mine but why is mine given me errors. Please can you check my test by clicking the link i provided in the first post.
It’s not the same. You removed the example code and you can’t do that.
Either copy the block above that I posted (your own code) or copy your code and reset the test and paste your code.

It’s not much code. Restart the browser, reset the code with the dedicated button, and retype it without modifying the example.
Shouldn’t be that way IMO - I removed the example code from a lot of challenges and didn’t have this issue. I wonder if it’s a bug in the test suite that is verifying the example && the test.

Thanks guys, it now working correctly. I really appreciate all your ideas to help me solve out this test.

I think it is on certain questions. There have been multiple tests/questions I have completed where I was certain my code was correct but it kept failing so I checked the hints. Then I would see my solution was the same as the hinted one, so I would copy the function in the hints.
Result? Code failed still. Then I realised why: I changed the example call to the function to test it with different variables, or sometimes to just console.log the outputted return statement.
