3,795 PointsHi can anyone help me with this syntax
const errorMessage = `There was an error getting the profile of ${username} (${response.statusCode})
I understand ${username} but the next one is confusing to me. Why does it have parenthesis around the variable ${response.statusCode} ?

in whatever you wanted inside your template string.
const errorMessage = `There was an error getting the profile of ${username} (${response.statusCode})`;
// will return something like "There was an error getting the profile of Clark Kent (400)";
const errorMessage = `There was an error getting the profile of ${username} --- ${response.statusCode} --- `;
// will return something like "There was an error getting the profile of Clark Kent --- 400 ---";
