Motasem Gozlan Short answer - Use <br> instead of \n when showing the output in HTML (i.e. when using document.write() or document.innerHTML) Long answer - When you write : document.write("Hello" + '\n\n' + "World"); The HTML source will be - Hello World ..and HTML removes the extra spaces (only keeps one space). So it shows only - Hello World When you write : document.write("Hello " + "<br>" + " World"); The source code is - Hello <br> World ..which HTML shows as Hello World Hope it clears! Feels free to ask if you've any more doubt

As far as I know, variable strings do not work with \n but with <br />, same as document.write&document.writeln alert and console will execute \n Look at the provided post, should explain it.👍 https://www.sololearn.com/discuss/1493807/?ref=app
