202 PointsI tried using print as described in the further reading for this video; why do I get "Hello, playground\n" ?
I have var str = "Hello, playground" and typed print(str) as described in the further reading. The part to the right says "Hello, playground\n" while the area below says "Hello, playground" What am I doing wrong?

Below shows you the text and then adds a carriage return.
You can also add '\n' into your string to add carriage returns.
