Tell us what’s happening:
I have tried like for one hour and there is not happening.

Your code so far
var myStr = “I am a /“double quoted/” string inside /“double quotes./”;”


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

Challenge: Escaping Literal Quotes in Strings

Hi and welcome to the forum!

You are making a string, so the contents must be surrounded by double quotes. But this string contains quotes, so the internal quotes need to be escaped (which you have done).

3

Your string is not inside double quotes.

Also, look again at what the escape character is.

I have tried double quotes at the beginning and end plus the escape before and after the double quotes inside. I have deleted them, is not happening.

You cannot have a string without opening and closing ". You must surround your string with ",

6

SyntaxError: unknown: Unexpected token, expected “;” (1:22)
this is what appears.

Please post your current full code.

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 (').

As @ArielLeslie said, your escape character is not correct:

In JavaScript, you can escape a quote from considering it as an end of string quote by placing a backslash (\) in front of the quote.
