Hello there.

Do you have a question?

If so, please edit your post to include it in the Tell us what’s happening section.

Learning to describe problems is an important part of learning how to code.

Also, the more information you give us, the more likely we are to be able to help.

You can’t write a string across multiple lines like that in Javascript. You need to use tme newline escape character.

I wrote it as const myStr = “FirstLine\n\t\SecondLine\n\r\ThirdLine”;

You might want to looks up what \r which is carriage return is doing.

You are Not almost there sadly!
Immediately after your FirstLine you should have a newline represented by \n that should be followed by a tab \t then an escaped backslash \\ then SecondLine and so on.
Build it up bit by bit until what see on screen matches.
