3,264 PointsMy printMessage only prints the message with the variable names and NOT the actual variables.
When entering:
//Function to print message to console function printMessage(username, badgeCount, points) { const message = '$(username) has $(badgeCount) total badge(s) and $(points) points in Javascript'; console.log(message); }
printMessage("zbanx", 100, 2000000);
my output is:
treehouse:~/workspace$ node app.js
$(username) has $(badgeCount) total badge(s) and $(points) points in Javascript

28,558 PointsString interpolation requires you to use a template string, not a regular string. Template strings start and end with the ` (back-tick) symbol rather than a quote like a regular string.
Also you have to use { and } (curly brackets) for the interpolation like ${VARIABLE} not parenthesis.
Like this:
//Function to print message to console
function printMessage(username, badgeCount, points) {
const message = `${username} has ${badgeCount} total badge(s) and ${points} points in Javascript`;
console.log(message);
}
