Understand String Immutability bugged?

Tell us what’s happening:
I can’t get this to pass

Your code so far

// Setup
var myStr = "Jello World";

// Only change code below this line

myStr[0] = "H"; // Fix Me
var myStr = "Hello World";

JavaScript doesn’t allow modifying individual characters in a string directly (the same is true for a couple other languages).

What you can do is to reassign the myStr variable a different string. When reassigning, there’s no need to use the var keyword.

So the bug that you’re describing is in your own code, not in the challenge itself :wink:
