692 PointsTyped exactly what was given. Got a 'uncaught syntax error' when i run it in the browser. Why would this be?
const stringToshout = prompt("What do you want to shout?"); const shout = stringToshout.toUpperCase(); const shoutMessage = `The message to shout is: ${shout}!!';
console.log(shoutMessage);
Did I miss something?

230,853 PointsThe issue is mismatched quotes on the template string:
shoutMessage = `The message to shout is: ${shout}!!'; // note: ' instead of `
// ^ accent (correct) ^ apostrophe (error)
