``` javascript const flavor = "Blueberry"; const type = "Smoothie"; const price = 4.99; const drink = flavor + ' ' + ty

I can't figure this out at all guys.

app.js 
const flavor = "Blueberry";
const type = "Smoothie";
const price = 4.99;

const drink = flavor + ' ' + type + ': ' + '$' + price;
const drink = `${flavor} ${type}: $${price}`;
const flavor = "Blueberry"; const type = "Smoothie"; const price = 4.99;

What is it that you're trying to get the code to do and what errors are you getting?

You have a few issues that I can see:

  1. You're overwriting multiple const variables, if you're changing values in a const variable, you want to use a let instead.
  2. In your drink variable, you have an extra $ before your ${price}. Ignore this one if you want that dollar sign to be there.
  3. What are you trying to do with the last line of code? It's currently setting some values on variables that you've already declared.

Hope this helps!
