Escape Sequences in Strings automatic testing

JavaScript
1

Tell us what’s happening:
The automatic testing lets me get away with 1 backslash in between \t and Secondline
And it’s my opinion there should be 2.

Your code so far
var myStr = “FirstLine\n\t\SecondLine\nThirdLine”; // Change this line


var myStr; // Change this line

Thank you for helping make FCC better. Bugs should always be reported as GitHub Issues. Whenever reporting a bug, please check first that there isn’t already an issue for it and provide as much detail as possible. There is already a reported bug that is causing a small subset of campers to have no certificate sections on their settings page.

You’re correct - there should be two backslashes to match what the exercise says is the code output. Without knowing how the test runs, I couldn’t say why that passes. \S -> S so you don’t get an error that way.

It is probably the same as #17712.
