Now you're missing the quotation marks that are part of the string. The escape character you need is \"

The whole string has to be in quotation marks. You have to use escape characters for the quotation marks that are part of the string.

Almost. You need another escape character at the beginning of the string.

Not quite. Now you're missing the opening quotation mark of the string.

cat() doesn't return anything (NULL). Therefore it doesn't make much sense to assign it to a variable.

No. I wrote it in a single line without using a variable.

I did above, it's the code that starts with "cat".
