Hi Cailey,

Posting is definitely encourage if you are having an issue you need assistance with, however, it is more beneficial to others if you specify exactly what the issue is and even better if you can post your code to go along with it. When you get an opportunity can you update your post and include details of what you are having trouble with and post the code? If you're not sure how to post code you can reference the Markdown Cheatsheet for advice.

This in reference to a ruby String quiz. The right answer is:

headline = "Website: \t Treehouse"

This cheat sheet is pretty useful.

I guess the key takeaway here is that:

/t is not \t

Hope this helps.

I think what they are looking for here here /t

/t will a tab of whitespace just like /n will give a return to a new line

I know it's not exactly intuitive, but the directions say : ".Fill in the blank to place a tab character in the string:"

To place a tab use /t. I don't know why you would want a tab in that place in the text...but sometimes it's difficult to come up with contrived examples to explain these concepts.
