what is wrong with my code in this “Escape Sequences in Strings” challenge on FreeCodeCamp?












4














I can't seem to get past this challenge and it's driving me nuts. I thought I followed the instructions correctly. Can someone please figure out what the error is? (I have a feeling it's something stupidly simple.)



The challenge is here: https://www.freecodecamp.com/challenges/escape-sequences-in-strings, below is my code.



var myStr =
FirstLinen
\SecondLine\
rThirdLine;


Thanks in advance!



Edit: 1st line error: unexpected '' and missing semicolon; 2nd line error: unexpected ''; 3rd line error: unexpected ''
