Convert the set of concatenated strings assigned to the drink variable to a template literal. The final string should be

const flavor = "Blueberry"; const type = "Smoothie"; const price = 4.99;

const drink = ` ${flavor } + ' ' + ${type} : $

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

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

You don't use empty strings like ** " " ** and assign operator in template literals u just use empty space like this : 

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