Separate lines on the document using document.write();

How would I put the concatenated string of "What do you think of JavaScript so far?" on a new line?

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="utf-8">
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/main.css">
  <title>Using the prompt() method.</title>
 </head>
<body>
  <div class="container">
  <h1>Using the prompt() method</h1>
  <script src="scripts.js"></script>
  </div>
</body>
</html>

var visitor = prompt("What is  your name?");

var message = "Hello " + visitor;

document.write(message);

message += ". What do you think of JavaScript so far?";

document.write(message);

You could add a line break tag to the message:

message += "<br>What do you think of JavaScript so far?";

Also I believe concatenation is only when you're putting strings together, here you're simply changing the variable. The proper way to go about it is probably building a paragraph tag around it though. Like this:

var visitor = prompt("What is  your name?");

var message = "<p>Hello " + visitor + "</p>";

document.write(message);

message = "<p>Hello " + visitor + " What do you think of JavaScript so far?</p>";

document.write(message);
