you put a space in front of the period, if you erase it, you will have the answer. Nice Job, Though!

Hey so I read over the comments but I’m still not understanding exactly what I did wrong. I have “I am a “double quoted” string inside “double quotes”.”;

Make sure you have the full stops and spaces where they are supposed to be :slight_smile: also include the backslashes like the example above.

They mean just as like in the example

var sampleStr = "Alan said, \"Peter is learning JavaScript\".";

I am a /"double quoted/" string inside "double quotes".
the / comes before " and then after the "

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

before the " and then after the " we place
so " "\
