What I did (in code):
const myFirstName = 'Ben'
const myLastName = 'Boorstein'
const sentenceOldWay = 'Hi, ' + myFirstName + ' ' + myLastName + ', ' + 'how are you?'
const sentenceNewWay = `Hi, ${myFirstName} ${myLastName}, how are you?`
console.log(sentenceOldWay)
console.log(sentenceNewWay)
Logs: Hi, Ben Boorstein, how are you?
Logs: Hi, Ben Boorstein, how are you?
What I did (in English):
- I declared a
const
variable calledmyFirstName
and stored in it (i.e., assigned to it)'Ben'
(a string). - I declared a
const
variable calledmyLastName
and stored in it (i.e., assigned to it)'Boorstein'
(a string). - I declared a
const
variable calledsentenceOldWay
and stored in it a string that combined the above variable strings and new strings, and I did this the old way, i.e., using string concatenation. - I declared a
const
variable calledsentenceNewWay
and stored in it a string that combined the above variable strings and new strings, and I did this the new way, i.e., using template literals (aka template strings). - I logged both
sentenceOldWay
andsentenceNewWay
to the console.
What I practiced:
- Same as above.
What I learned:
- From the above code, I didn't learn anything new.
- From other parts of this section of instruction, I didn't learn anything new, because I already knew it. But I was reminded that in JS what we would, in regular English, call integers and decimal numbers are both just considered Numbers, and that in JS decimal numbers are called 'floats'.
What I still might not understand:
- Nothing for this section.
