Can someone please check my code? It's not showing up in the browser.

Hello, I'm trying to preview this but nothing shows up. What did I do wrong?

let question = prompt("How are you doing today?");

let question2 = prompt("What are you going to do today?");

let comboquestions = question.toUpperCase() + ' ' + question2.toUpperCase();

let numberlength = comboquestions.length;

alert(The string ${comboquestions} is ${numberlength} number of characters long.)

One error is that your template literals (template strings) need surrounding backticks (in the alert). (See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Template_literals) Example: This:

alert(The string ${comboquestions} is ${numberlength} number of characters long.)

should be typed like this:

alert(`The string ${comboquestions} is ${numberlength} number of characters long.`)

Oh no, I had backticks for when I pasted it here, it ended up turning the code into a different font haha. I had them so it turned out well! Thank you!
