You appear to have created this post without editing the template. Please edit your post to Tell us what’s happening in your own words.

3

its a wrong code for the project . just try to read the instructions , and also template literals aren’t required for the project . Waiting for current updates on the project building :slight_smile:

4

I still don’t undertand why is a wrong code cause the instructions don’t specifically tell you which codes to use

5

The purpose of the certification projects is for you to design code that meets the requirements.
