Sorry... you are WRONG. The first quotation mark is followed by a newline, and thus the string will include four lines - the first of which is blank.

For anyone wondering, this is the question:
The following code would create a valid string in Ruby with 3 lines in it:
string = "
My Ruby string here
Is created in three lines
This is a haiku"
And it's a true or false answer. The only accepted answer is true. However, if you go into workspaces, create a ruby file and add that code in, and than run the file, the console returns
|
My Ruby string here
Is created in three lines
This is a haiku
(pipe character just to hold the empty line, it's not actually there in the program)
and further, if you add puts string.lines.count it returns 4, so it is a valid string, but it creates 4 lines not 3, thus the quiz answer should only accept false as being correct.
