Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 512 PointsString interpolation for setter video example not working.
I'm not getting the owner string for ${owner} in the setters oojs video example.. any ideas? syntax is the exact same as in the video. the string interpolation is not occurring for some reason.
I have:
set owner(owner) {
this._owner = owner;
console.log('setter called: ${owner}');
}
but am getting the following in my console:
[after] treehouse:~/workspace$ node Pet.js
setter called: ${owner}
This works fine: console.log('setter called:' + owner); but not console.log('setter called: ${owner}'); for some reason.

This:
'setter called: ${owner}'
should be this:
`setter called: ${owner}`

Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 512 Pointswhy backticks? I thought we have always used single or double quotes in the past.
