how do I add flavor to this deal of code?

Question

app.js

const flavor = "Blueberry";
const type = "Smoothie";
const price = 4.99;

const drink = flavor + ' ' + type + ': ' + '$' + price;

const flavor = "Blueberry Smoothie"

Hi Alonzo!

First, the tests don't do well with repeated code (won't pass), so replace the existing drink string.

Second, template literals (the entire string) must be surrounded by backticks (the character above the tab key and to the left of the 1/! key - the same key's uppercase value is tilda: ~

You reference the variables by encasing them in ${ }

Example: ${flavor}

So it looks weird but to have a variable with a dollar sign in front, you need to use $${ }, which is not exactly intuitive.

So you end up with: $${price}

Anyway this passes:

const flavor = "Blueberry";
const type = "Smoothie";
const price = 4.99;

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

I hope that helps.

Stay safe and happy coding!

const flavor = "Blueberry"; const type = "Smoothie"; const price = 4.99;

const drink = (${blueberry}) (${smoothie}): ($${4.99});

what am I doing wrong because it's saying that the value of flavor is not entered into the string?
