JavaScript
1

Tell us what’s happening:

hi!
why my answer is wrong?

my answer is = var myStr = " I am a “double quoted” string inside “double quotes”.";

but the console says = Variable myStr should contain the string: I am a “double quoted” string inside “double quotes”.

thanks

i can’t tell if you escaped any of the double quotes. Can you post your code in between two lines with 3 backticks like this :slight_smile:
```
put code here
```

hi!

 var  myStr = " I am a \"double quoted\" string inside \"double quotes\".";

I think you have an extra space at the start of the string? Make sure you copy the string exactly.
