Front End Web Development Techdegree Student 4,970 Pointsperson.age + 1 isn't adding 1 to make the number 38, it is making it 371
const person = { name: 'Edward', city: 'New York', age: '37', isStudent: true, skills: ['JavaScript', 'HTML', 'CSS'] };
person.nickname = 'Duke';
const message = Hi, I'm ${person.name}. I live in ${person.city}. Most know me as ${person.nickname}. My age is ${person.age + 1}.;
console.log(message);
