Strings ( Java Script)

Strings (JS) has to be inside quotes thus quotes within stings has to be inside backslashes for the string to print ?

In JavaScript you can use ' or " for strings. You don't need to escape these characters if you use the other one to declare the string: 'hi "Petra", how are you' "hi 'Petra', how are you" Of course you have to escape if you have to use the same character: 'hi \'Petra\', how are you' "hi \"Petra\", how are you"

Petra, your second sentence in JS should be: '\'or " seems practical' just for practice

Not "inside" backslashes, but PRECEDED BY one backslash... as for saying "hey, this quote is not the signal of the end of the string, it's inside it" to the parser ;)
