Im not even sure how to ask this ...
concatenation does not require a space while space does make strings and the like more readable its not required. So ...
I chose the answer with
'hello' + 'world' <--- was told this is wrong because it needs a space.
Fine ...
I chose the answer ... NONE of the above cause NONE of them have a space to the right of any of the strings. <--- was told I was wrong still ...
also ... while i was typing this message out I was apparently taking the test too, because the background kept selecting answers and typing while I was typing this message ... and amazingly I got it wrong still.
:( Frustrated.

var sent= 'this is a sentence';// this is a sentence
var sent2="thisisasentnece";//thisisasentence
var sent3="this is a" + "sentence";//this is asentence"
//spaces are required for strings
//but its not required for concatenation
//which means a space isn't required out side the string
//outside not required " inside required" outside not required + " inside required"
//for exmple
var string1= "this " + "is " + "a " + "string ";
//is the same as
var string2= "this "+"is "+"a "+"string";
//note it works the same and a space isnt required when concatenating, in other words a space isnt required with the + sign
// but its required inside a string

Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 2,145 Pointsinteresting ... I was going to a tech college and I was told or advised rather that when concatenating was done the space should read from left to right ...
so it would go like ... "is required " <--- space here + "is required" <--- space not here. and doing it as tree house suggested was wrong.
I guess it was a personal preference the instructor had at the tech college.
