Convert the set of concatenated strings assigned to the drink variable to a template literal. The final string should be

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

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

Sahmad, No need for the extra ‘$’ characters for your template literals except for the last one. You’re looking for something more like this: 

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