Appending to a text area followed by a new line

I'd like to append a string to a text area, followed by a new line.

My research shows that Here's what I've tried thus far, but have not had any luck with:

function putStr(str){
    document.getElementById('output').value += str +\n;
}


function putStr(str){
    document.getElementById('output').value += str \n;
}

function putStr(str){
    document.getElementById('output').value += str;
    document.getElementById('output').value += \n;
}

Thanks!

put your new line in a string, since it's not a variable. 

function putStr(str){
    document.getElementById('output').value += str + '\n';
}

Give this a go with the quotes

function putStr(str){
   document.getElementById('output').value += str +"\n";
}
