how to use var properly

Question

I just started learning Javascript on codecademy and don't know what is the problem with this code.

var feedback = prompt("Rate this game out of 10");
if(feedback > 8) {
    console.log("This is just the beginning of my game empire. Stay tuned for more!");
}
else {
    console.log("I slaved away at this game and you gave me that score?! The nerve! Just you wait!")
};

It says there's something wrong with variable. It might be a too easy question, but I don't know how to figure it out.

Answer 1

The issue like Klaasman pointed out, is that you had a newline break.

console.log("This is a very long string
that went more than one line long");

If you want strings to go more than one line you have to use \ to tell JavaScript that "The string is continued on the next line"

console.log("This is a very long string \
that went more than one line long");

This way you could write the same string like this:

console.log("This \
is \
a \
very \
long \ 
string");

You also forgot a semicolon on your last console.log statement.
