Tell us what’s happening:

Your code so far


var myStr\t"FirstLine\nSecondLine\tThirdLine"; // Change this line

First, you’re setting myStr\t... instead of myStr =.... Second, take a look at what it’s asking you to return:

FirstLine<newline><tab><backslash>SecondLine<newline>ThirdLine

But, rather than using the tags as I did, you want to change them:

<newline>     = \n
<tab>         = \t
<backslash>   = \\

So can you figure which of those go where in that string?
