Displaying curly braces

("Sorry, The number was ${number}." ); my variable is labeled number and it's spelled correctly. my code looks the same but in the log it's not showing the variable instead it's showing literally "Sorry the number was ${number}" instead of inserting what I put the number variable as.

Did you make sure to change the quotation marks to backticks? This will change it to a template literal and your ${number} should then instead display as number's value.
