JavaScript Getting Started With ES2015 Using Template Literals Review Template Literals

ES2015

for one of the Quiz questions, I answered

const name = "Dave"; let message = "Hello ${name}. How are you?" as a way of putting template literals into the variable.

Is there something I'm misssing? because the answer keeps saying its incorrect.

Thanks.

Hi Brian,

Template literals use the back-ticks instead of double/single quotes. The expression/variable should be wrapped in curly braces ${expression} instead of parentheses.
