concatenating strings

What am I doing wrong? It keeps telling me that I need to add a space between flavor and type.

app.js 
const flavor = "Blueberry";
const type = "Smoothie";
const price = 4.99;

const drink = `${flavor} ${type}: ${price};`

Hi there, Totiaunah Millerranzy! You're doing terrific, and you're almost there. First, the semicolon should come at the very end of your statement after the last backtick. Also, the Bummer! message here isn't quite saying what it means. You are printing out ${price}, which is 4.99. But it wants that printed out as $4.99. That means you need an additional dollar sign.

Try: $${price}, and don't forget to move the semicolon to the end of the line.

Hope this helps! :sparkles:
