Learn Data Types and Conditionals Lesson E

Strings defined using backticks are called template literals. They are a new way to define strings in JavaScript. They allow you to embed expressions within the string. This is done by wrapping the expression in ${}.

For example, the following code:

let name = "John";
let age = 25;
let greeting = `Hello, my name is ${name} and I am ${age} years old.`;

will result in the greeting variable containing the string “Hello, my name is John and I am 25 years old.”
