SyntaxError: unknown: Unexpected token, expected ";" (1:22)

Tell us what’s happening:
it says “SyntaxError: unknown: Unexpected token, expected “;” (1:22)” the whole time and when i get rid of “;” it still doesn’t work.

Your code so far


var myStr = "i am a /"double quoted/" string inside /"double quotes/".";// Change this line
