I don't understand how to answer this question. I would have thought it was /s for the spaces the question is asking for

Thanks!

Hi Steven,

When inserting things like new lines, tabs and spaces, always use a backslash: \n\t\s. You have a forward slash

Thanks! It was a typo in my question (I meant \s) but turns out my browser was cutting off part of the question so I couldn't answer it properly no matter what I did until I realized!
