What am I missing when adding spaces to a string? I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong for that question.

I really believe that the correct answer to this question is below:

Coding\swith\sTreehouse\sis\sfun!

Although, I can't seem to figure out what my error is. Can anyone lend a hand?

Yeah, there shouldn't be a problem with the answer, other then the quiz doesn't have the word "is" in it (poor grammar there Treehouse, "Coding with Treehouse fun"?). But yes, the answer should be \s in each of the three blanks. You might want to contact support if that isn't working.

Patrick Hager is correct. I've also tried it, and yes the grammar is strange there. But the correct answer is \s in all three blanks. You might try clearing your browser cache and reloading the quiz just in case there's something strange going on there, but likely you're going to have to contact support if it still won't work. Happy coding (and you're doing great)! :sparkles:
