Build a Teacher Chatbot - Step 8

Tell us what’s happening:

Hello everyone,
I’m having trouble figuring out what I need to do here. My code produces the desired output in the tests but I don’t exactly understand the way it wants me to do this. Any help is appreciated. I don’t think I was supposed to declare a new variable the way I did.

Step 8: Now it is time to get the length of the topic string.

You can use template literals inside console statements like this:

Example Code

const developer = "Jessica";
console.log(`Hello, my name is ${developer}.`);

Start by outputting the message Here is an example of using the length property on the word [topic]. to the console.

Remember to replace [topic] with the topic variable, and use proper template literal syntax as you did in the previous steps.

Then, add a second console.log statement that outputs the length of the topic string to the console.

Your code so far

console.log("Hi there!");

const botName = "teacherBot";

const greeting = `My name is ${botName}.`;
console.log(greeting);

const subject = "JavaScript";
const topic = "strings";

const sentence = `Today, you will learn about ${topic} in ${subject}.`;
console.log(sentence);

const strLengthIntro = `Here is an example of using the length property on the word ${subject}.`;
console.log(strLengthIntro);
console.log(subject.length);


// User Editable Region

const strLengthTopic = `Here is an example of using the length property on the word ${topic}.`;
console.log(strLengthTopic);
console.log(topic.length);

// User Editable Region

i combined these two lines into a single log statement (minus the variable declaration) and that fixed it.
Sometimes these tests are very literal and can’t handle any deviation.
