## Description
<section id='description'>
Quotes are not the only characters that can be <dfn>escaped</dfn> inside a string. There are two reasons to use escaping characters: First is to allow you to use characters you might not otherwise be able to type out, such as a backspace. Second is to allow you to represent multiple quotes in a string without JavaScript misinterpreting what you mean. We learned this in the previous challenge.
