string_c(string, sep, collapse = NULL) will combine multiple strings into a single string.
Arguments:
string: the string objects you want to combine into a single string
sep: a pattern you would like to insert between the strings in the combined strings. We recommend using sep = " " to ensure there is a space between the first string and the second.
collapse = NULL: collapse strings in a character vector into a single string.
# This will get executed each time the exercise gets initialized
