Connecting to Atlas cluster from command prompt and also from mongo shell

MongoDB University M001: MongoDB Basics

I’m working on a windows 10 machine. I have a problem connecting to the Atlas cluster for this class from mongo shell from the C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\4.2\bin directory. I typed in the connection string shown below:

mongo “mongodb://cluster0-shard-00-00-jxeqq.mongodb.net:27017,cluster0-shard-00-01-jxeqq.mongodb.net:27017,cluster0-shard-00-02-jxeqq.mongodb.net:27017/test?replicaSet=Cluster0-shard-0” --authenticationDatabase admin --ssl --username m001-student --password m001-mongodb-basics

(1)When I type in the connection string from the command prompt from MongoDB Enterprise>, I get this error message:
2019-09-27T10:32:46.480-0400 E QUERY [js] uncaught exception: SyntaxError: unexpected token: string literal :
@(shell):1:6

(2) When I type in the connection string from the mongo shell, I get this error message:
2019-09-27T10:13:44.761-0400 E QUERY [js] uncaught exception: SyntaxError: invalid increment/decrement operand :
@(shell):1:0

When I type show dbs, admin, config and local come up as 0.000GB

The connect string you gave is fine.If you are connected to this you should see more DBs(Class cluster)
You should not run the string from Mongo prompt
Run at Windows command prompt or Unix os prompt
Most likely you connected to default mongod on Windows
That’s why you are seeing 3 DBs of zero bytes
Please exit and try again
See below commands i tried on Windows

C:\Users>mongo
MongoDB shell version v4.0.5
connecting to: mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017/?gssapiServiceName=mongodb
Implicit session: session { “id” : UUID(“c4f3be21-391d-4c68-8f4d-d85ae47f09c9”) }

db
test
show dbs
admin 0.000GB
config 0.000GB
local 0.000GB
