- template literals start and end with "backtick" characters
`
- variable contents are represented by the variable name preceded by $ and enclosed in braces {}
And here is an example:
var num = 3;
var msg = `There are ${num} boxes here.`;

215,940 PointsShow the answer that you are giving now. Because of the special characters, you'll probably need to format it as code (as I did in the example above). Use the instructions for code formatting in the Markdown Cheatsheet pop-up below the "Add an Answer" area.
Or watch this video on code formatting.
