Unclear what is expected

I've tried this test several weeks apart and what is expected is still unclear, given that no specific text is given or suggested for us to insert.

In my case, I created a sentence and put the "\n" characters in the middle to create a second line. However each time I get feedback, I am told to insert "\n".

The code challenge is just asking you to put the escaped character into the variable--no extra text is required. For example:

var escapedNewLine = "\n";
