Tell us what’s happening:

I am having a bit of difficulties with this question: the step is
On a new line, add the string You attack it with your [weapon]. to the text value, replacing [weapon] with the player’s current weapon.

The hint I’m receiving is: You should add the string You attack it with your to the text.innerText value. Remember that spacing matters.

appreciate the help

### Your code so far

function attack() {
  text.innerText = "The " + monsters[fighting].name + " attacks.";
  text.innerText += "You attack it with your " + weapon[currentWeapon].name;

}

What happens if you stick "attacks." and "You attack it with your " together?

This is the key part of the hint. How would those two sentences display? Would the spacing look right as written?

This is a bs step imo. Because it says " On a new line, add the string You attack it with your <weapon>." I thought I was being clever adding a “\n”, “remember[ing] that spacing matters” and then dialed back to a simpler solution that still wasn’t working for ages. Infuriating.
