I’m pretty sure I’ve seen confusion with this challenge on the forum before, so it probably wouldn’t hurt. I’ll open this up for first timers.

I think the tip about variable c that says “c should not contain undefined and should have a value of the string I am a String!” it should also contain the term “should be evaluated to have the” replacing “should have a value of the” that way the beginner coder would find the evaluated keyword striking and they might start thinking about the difference between “evaluated” and “initialised”
