To start,

@brigitte

myStr;"FirstLine

I bet you meant to use an = sign instead of a ;

@brigitte

var myStr;"FirstLine
\\SecondLine\\\rThirdLine";

Also, you can’t break a string over multiple lines like that.

Hi @brigitte !

Welcome to the forum!

Your starting code should be this

var myStr=""; // Change this line

because as mentioned this is not valid javascript

@brigitte

var myStr;"

[brigitte]

var myStr;"FirstLine\n\\SecondLine\\\rThirdLine";

this is my string…where did i go wrong

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 it easier to read.

You can also use the “preformatted text” tool in the editor (</>) to add backticks around text.

See this post to find the backtick on your keyboard.
Note: Backticks (`) are not single quotes (’).

@brigitte

var myStr;

You still have this semicolon here where we told you to remove it and use an equal sign =.
