We know we need to use (()) but can't tell what to do afterwards. It seems to require a very specific syntax

none needed

Sam: Can you be more specific about the problem, or what you are referring to exactly?

The new line syntax does not need the parentheses, you just insert the \n where you would like a new line to start. The back slash \ is used to tell the compiler that there is something there that does not need to be printed literally, and it usually refers to a variable, constant, or specific syntax like in this example.

println("Bread \n Milk \n Honey")
