Bringing It All Together

Let's put what we've learned to the test with this exercise.

Note

In the third line of the task, you can see the \" symbol. It is one of the escape characters that are really useful in printing something in the console.

\nNewline (line break) - moves to the next line.
\tHorizontal tab - adds a tab space for formatting.
\\Backslash (\) - includes a literal backslash in a string.
\'Single quote (') - allows a single quote in a string.
\"Double quote (") - includes a double quote in a string.
Task
test

Swipe to show code editor

  1. On the third line, print your name after greeting.
  2. Divide 2894 by 274 to get an integer result, then raise that result to the power of 4. This goes on line 6.
  3. Comment out both the first and seventh lines so they won't display in the console.

Note

Don't confuse the / and // operators. Only the // operator returns an integer result.
