A very small mistake.

You forgot the Full Stop (.) at the end of the sentence.

3

##It still not working sir

4

You are probably doing something wrong.

Before the closing quote (") add a full stop (.)

And it will work.

5

##it doesn’t please sir what else am i getting wrong?

English sentences start with a capital letter and end with a full stop.

Are you doing that?

Your code: var myStr = "I am a \"double quoted\" string inside \"double quotes\""; doesn’t contain that point that indicates the end of the sentence.

If you console log myStr, you will get: I am a “double quoted” string inside "double quotes"
Try to compare it with this: I am a “double quoted” string inside “double quotes”.

is it the same?

No, there’s a slight difference.

var myStr= " I am a  \"double quoted\" string inside \"double quotes\. ""; // change this line

  1. You are putting the Full Stop in the wrong place. It should be at the end before the final, closing quote ("): ."

  2. There shouldn’t be any space around double quotes: \"double quotes\"

It’s very easy bro.

11 
var myStr = "I am a \"double quote\" string inside \"double quotes\"."; // Change this line

am still having problems with this same code, i have tried all that i was asked to do to get it right, both there shouldn’t be any spacing around the double quotes: yet it still not working out. Please am so confused and tired

Your code is right.
You have a typo in your code.
This is what the challenge wants you to have:
I am a "double quoted" string inside "double quotes".

And this is what you have:
I am a "double quote" string inside "double quotes".

Can you spot the difference?
