Escape Sequence in String

JavaScript
1

Tell us what’s happening:

It’s probably a simple question, but I am really confused on how to go about this.
It is asking:

Assign the following three lines of text into the single variable myStr using escape sequences.

FirstLine
\SecondLine
ThirdLine

my code so far:

var myStr; //\nFirstLine\t\nSecondLine\\\nThirdLine

It looks like the code that you have in the comment (after the //) is on the right track, but the elements need to be in a slightly different order. (EG your escaped slash, //, is currently at the end of the second line instead of where it should be.)

Once you get that section written as a string and assigned to a variable, you will be able to see it in the test output box.
