720 PointsI need help. I feel like Im doing what the statement is asking but it's not right.
I'm not understanding this statement:
Make sure you're including : $ immediately after type and before `price
const flavor = "Blueberry";
const type = "Smoothie";
const price = 4.99;
const drink = `${flavor} + ' ' + ${type} + ':$ ' + ${price}`;

the answer.
you can't concatenate(add) template literals the same way you do strings.
Think of it like this the drink costs ${price} would evaluate to "the drink costs 4.99" <- notice how there is no "$"?
that's because ${} is the syntax that contains your variable and it is sort of 'ignores' everything around it and only prints what's inside of it.
so $${price} would print $4.99.
I hope this helps!
