2,050 Pointscan you guys explain what is my mistake .
I am trying to concatenate string and it looks complicated . Please help me !
const flavor = "Blueberry";
const type = "Smoothie";
const price = 4.99;
const drink = flavor + $( 'Blueberry ' ) + type + $( 'Smoothie: ') + ( '$4.99' ) + price;
// "Blueberry smoothie: 4.99;"

const drink = `${flavor} ${type}: $${price}`;

231,248 PointsYou need to use the variables by name instead of the replicating their contents.
But you also need to choose whether to use a template literal or concatenation. What is shown here is a mix of the syntax of both those methods but is not correct for either.

2,605 PointsSteven is correct that you cannot combine the two. I think this exercise is looking for you to use template literal syntax with interpolation. As an example, I pasted the two options you can take to accomplish the task (either template literal or concatenation). Happy coding!
const flavor = "Blueberry"; const type = "Smoothie"; const price = 4.99;
//do this to use template literal with interpolation
const drink =
${flavor} ${type}: $${price}; console.log(drink);//or do this to use concatenation
const drink = flavor + " " + type + ": " + "$" + price console.log(drink);
