Template literal

Is it correct if I do that: const alertName = name=>alert(alertName(${name}));

And: function getName(name){ return name; } document.write('My name is ${getName("victor")');

Literal templating can only be used with the string interpolation (` backtick) Don't forget to close the curly braces.

So to repeat your codes:

const alertName = alert(`${name}`); // Not necessary, and cannot alert the function your calling, it will be called infinitely

function getName(name) {
  return name;
}
document.write(`My name is ${getName("victor")}`);
