3,512 PointsYo James, var questionsLeft = ' [' questions + ' questions left'; \n That's what your code looks like. It should look like this. var questionsLeft = ' [' + questions + ' questions left]'; Hope that helps.

var questionsLeft = ' [' + questions + ' questions left]';

```javascript //Start of your block of code in JavaScript.
// Your code goes there !
``` // End of your block of code.
