7,176 PointsYou may want to change firstName to a name like Zoe
or Ryan
. The issue I am guessing is that you forgot a double quote "
after /n
and before ,firstName
. Also, you probably want \n
and not /n
. \n
is newline and /n
is nothing special
You may be discouraging help by saying you think the problem is too difficult

27,841 PointsI'll merely add: Remember; it should be referenced to the instance started. if it's within the same class(like yours) it's "this.firstName" other than that, the above is a bare minimum. ' " ' is missing and \n. all great advise!
