--description--
In JavaScript, String values are immutable, which means that they cannot be altered once created.
For example, the following code will produce an error because the letter B in the string Bob cannot be changed to the letter J:
let myStr = "Bob";
myStr[0] = "J";
Note that this does not mean that myStr could not be re-assigned. The only way to change myStr would be to assign it with a new value, like this:
let myStr = "Bob";
myStr = "Job";
--instructions--
Correct the assignment to myStr so it contains the string value of Hello World using the approach shown in the example above.
--hints--
myStr should have a value of the string Hello World.
assert(myStr === 'Hello World');
You should not change the code above the specified comment.
assert(/myStr = "Jello World"/.test(code));
--seed--
--after-user-code--
(function(v){return "myStr = " + v;})(myStr);
--seed-contents--
// Setup
let myStr = "Jello World";
// Only change code below this line
myStr[0] = "H"; // Change this line
// Only change code above this line
--solutions--
let myStr = "Jello World";
myStr = "Hello World";
