In the meantime, I'm not sure what the "full name method" is, but you can easily convert interpolation into concatenation. Here's an example:
console.log(`Hello, ${name}, and welcome to the ${place}!`); // interpolation
console.log("Hello, " + name + ", and welcome to the " + place + "!"); // concatenation

3,276 PointsI mean if you do with jQuery: $() it may be confused
Steven Parker
231,269 PointsOh, in open code, the $ stands for jQuery. But as Keith pointed out, in a string interpolation the $ is inside a pair of accents ("backticks") and will be handled differently. The system will not be confused.
Vic Mercier
3,276 PointsEven if your jQuery is put in a javasript file which has also the interpolation?
//Can you answer to my other questions
Steven Parker
231,269 PointsYes, particularly then. The $ in open code is jQuery, and the $ inside accents is interpolation. No confusion.

21,326 PointsCan you show some code as an example? Are you using the ${} inside of a template literal? If so that will not cause a conflict with jquery since the $ is contained between the backticks of the template literal.
