Incorrect quiz response

One of the questions in the quiz asks to finish:

var _ = _ + ‘Script’;

So that it returns a variable with the string ‘JavaScript’

When I submit:

var message = “Java” + ‘Script’;

I get an incorrect response. What is wrong here?

Hi Jonathan,

Your answer is correct, and when I do the quiz, that does pass. Looking closely at you code snippet above, it looks like you have fancy quotes surrounding Java. These are common in word processors, so if you are copy/pasting answers, your code will usually break as IDEs and Text Editors (including the code checker on Treehouse) does not like these and do not recognize them as being quotes. Have another go, but make sure you aren't using fancy quotes.

" " --> normal and accepted quotes
“ ” --> fancy quotes not accepted

But nice work! :) :dizzy:

Worked fine on my laptop just now. I was doing it on my phone and while I wasn't copying and pasting from another source I can only assume it was putting in the fancy quotes. Anyway, thanks.
