Tell us what’s happening:

I’m having trouble even getting started. I’ve been reading about escaping online and no matter what i put into Free Code Camp, it doesn’t work.

Even in this forum it doesn’t let me do the longer form of “&” - it converts it to “&”.

You can see what i’m trying to log in my code

what i put the below into FCC - it doesnt give me the same output

Your code so far

function convertHTML(str) {
  let newStr = str.replace("&", "&");
  return newStr;   
}

console.log( convertHTML("Dolce & Gabbana"));
console.log("&");

You won’t see your changes in freeCodeCamp’s UI console. You’ll need to open up your browser’s console in dev tools to see the entity replacements.
