Why is the kicking an error?
const name = prompt ( "What is your name?");
const message = `Hello: ${name}. It's ${2 * 3}PM. `;
alert ( message );

const message = `Hello: ${name}. It's ${2 * 3}`
Notice the tick marks.

As a mod, you should be able to fix the formatting.

Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 7,539 PointsHey Steve - If I write mine, then yours they look similar?
const message = `Hello: ${name}. It's ${2 * 3}PM. `;
const message = `Hello: ${name}. It's ${2 * 3}`
Steven Parker
231,153 PointsIt looks better now with the formatting added (either by you or Clayton). But it could be that the code is good yet doesn't meet the objective. Please provide a link to the challenge and we can check it out.

Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 7,539 PointsSorry all, this is kicking an error when I put it in the console. This isn't for a challenge.
Steven Parker
231,153 PointsYou are just typing these lines into the browser JavaScript console? What error do you get?
Or do you mean the workspace console? If that's it, you can't enter JavaScript code there. You'd need to create a web project and then "preview" it.
