Hi, why won’t the code pass? I’m using template strings and interpolation

Your code so far

let botName = "MathBot"
let greeting = "Hi there! My name is `${botName}` and I am here to teach you about the Math object!"

console.log(greeting)

Hi there,

Your code currently outputs:

Hi there! My name is ${botName} and I am here to teach you about the Math object!

But what’s expected is:

Hi there! My name is MathBot and I am here to teach you about the Math object!

The issue is that you’re using backticks inside double quotes, which prevents the variable from being evaluated. You should remove the double quotes and wrap the entire string in backticks instead.
