hello,

Just wondering. How do I log a string to the console using ES5 syntax?

My code is as follows:

var pasta = "Spaghetti"; // ES5 syntax

var meat = "Pancetta"; // ES6 syntax

var sauce = "Eggs and cheese"; // ES6 syntax

// Template literals, like the one below, were introduced in ES6
let carbonara = "You can make carbonara with" + pasta + "," + meat + ", and a sauce made with" + sauce + ".";

console.log(carbonara);

, which does not seem to work =(

Not sure if anyone got the same problem, but the correct answer is here:

var carbonara = "You can make carbonara with " + pasta + ", " + meat + ", and a sauce made with " + sauce;
