Template Literal

📌

Conclusion

Template Literal — free browser-based JavaScript practice

■ What this exercise teaches Use the name variable ("Taro") to output "Hello, Taro!" with console.log.

Why it matters in real projects

Template literals embed variables directly into strings. Similar patterns appear daily in code review and production UI work.

Step-by-step workflow

1. Read the guide and understand the goal of "Template Literal" 2. Review the JavaScript editor pane and start from the starter code 3. Open hints if stuck; compare your diff with the sample solution 4. Click Run and inspect preview/console output 5. Auto-check looks for output containing: Hello, Taro. 6. After success, continue with adjacent exercises in the same category

Core concept explained

Template literals embed variables directly into strings.

Technical focus

Key JavaScript APIs: console.log.

Hint before you peek at the solution

Use backticks and ${name}.

Sample solution walkthrough

JavaScript APIs used: console.log. Verify spelling and async/await usage. Explanation: Template literals embed variables directly into strings. Hint recap: Use backticks and ${name}.

Solution code

📝 Sample code

const name = 'Taro';
console.log(`Hello, ${name}!`);

Common mistakes for this exact task

- Skipping the hint: Use backticks and ${name}.

Troubleshooting

Q: Preview does not change after Run A: Ensure you edited the JavaScript pane and clicked Run. Q: Looks correct but check fails A: Auto-check looks for output containing: Hello, Taro. Look for typos, full-width spaces, or unclosed tags. Q: Console shows errors A: Open DevTools Console and fix bracket/quote mismatches at the reported line. Q: Hard to type on mobile A: Use landscape mode or continue on desktop—the same URL keeps progress in localStorage.
