731 PointsBetter way of putting variables inside a string?
Concatenating strings and variables with the + sign can be a bit ugly, so I did a bit of research and found this page: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3304014/javascript-variable-inside-string-without-concatenation-like-php
Ignore the first answer on that page (it's obsolete) – it turns out you can use backticks ` and dollar signs $ and curly braces {} to put your variables directly inside a string, like so:
var adjective = prompt('what did you call me?');
document.write(`I know u r ${adjective} but what am I?`);
It worked for me in my workspace (on Chrome), give it a shot! Anyone aware of any limitations to this way of doing things, other than that it's not supported by older browsers?
