Your code so far
myStr = "FirstLine\n\\SecondLine\\\rThirdLine";
var myStr; // Change this line
myStr = "FirstLine\n\\SecondLine\\\rThirdLine";

I’ve edited your post for readability. When you enter a code block into a forum post, please precede it with a separate line of three backticks and follow it with a separate line of three backticks to make easier to read.
See this post to find the backtick on your keyboard. The “preformatted text” tool in the editor (</>) will also add backticks around text.
Note: Backticks are not single quotes.
In the lesson you can see a sample of what you’ve typed in and you’ll see it doesn’t match the output they’ve asked for to solve the lesson.
As a hint, right above the “Run the Tests” button they’ve written out what escape sequences you need to put in.
Hint; newline and carriage return are not the same thing.
