Why would they want me to do it exactly their way? i literally coded my own good function working all well and its wrong because it wasnt made their way lol

looking at the tests for that exercise, it only appears to test behaviour. Maybe your code behaved slightly incorrectly.

4

Here’s my code I used for this and it’s not working…any suggestions?

const sillySentence =(input1, input2, input3) => {
return I am so ${input1} because I ${input2} coding! Time to write some more awesome ${input3};
}

5

Never mind, they wanted me to change my variables names to what they have. Thanks any way

6

They… don’t.
You probably changed something else as well (the code you shown won’t produce the right string)

Hi Team… I’m new and while the result gets printed cleanly on my screen- Its still appearing as wrong? Any ideas?

function sillySentence (adjective, verb, noun) { return I am so ${adjective} because I ${verb} coding! Time to write some more awesome ${noun}!;} I have tried variable name changes, using const syntax versus function. Any variation gives me the printed result on the screen, but still asks if i have used string concatenation or string interpolation?

8

Don’t bother! Poor marking team! Why should i have to call them String1, String2, String3?

Same here! I wrote the following …

<function sillySentence (adjective, verb, noun) {
return I am so ${adjective} because I ${verb} coding! Time to write some more awesome ${noun};
}; />

And it worked fine but I got an error message asking if I’d used string concatenation or interpolation …

the name of the parameters do not matter. Just make sure your string prints out exactly what they have, how they have it; spaces, caps, punct’s and all.

12

I resorted to utilizing the solution help and see that my struggle was due to confusion over:

  1. when to omit the curly brackets (i.e. at the the end of line one)
  2. when to omit return

Is this because there are three parameters? Or? Any clarification would be appreciated.

const sillySentence = (adjective, verb, noun) =>
I am so ${adjective} because I ${verb} coding! Time to write some more awesome ${noun}!

console.log(sillySentence(‘excited’, ‘love’, ‘functions’));

your code works fine you just need a curly brace just after the arrow and at the end of your sentence.

  • you need to put return before your sentence and dont forget to put ` instead of ’ at the beginning and the end of your sentence
14

So my code works perfectly, and I used interpolation.

const sillySentence = (adj,verb,noun) => {
  return `I am so ${adj} because I ${verb} coding! Time to write some more awesome ${noun}`;
}

But Codecademy keeps marking it wrong and hitting me with this error/question:

Did you use string concatenation or interpolation to fill in the blanks of this sentence: ‘I am so __ because I ___ coding! Time to write some more awesome ___ !’?

What gives here?

this wat i coded . it seems correct as i go over and over some references but it still shows error. i need ur help pls

16

it should have been

const sillySentence = (adjective,verb,noun) =>{
I am so ${string1} because I ${string2} coding! Time to write some more awesome ${string3}!;
}

as while declaring the function you make use of variable name, then call it by un-commenting the console.log() text in the probelm

17

Copy paste error and replace the __ with ${variable}, cuz this error is occurring when something is missing in the sentence …be it additional space or anything.

function sillySentence(string1,string2,string3){

return I am so ${string1} because I ${string2} coding! Time to write some more awesome ${string3}!;

}

18

use this one

const sillySentence = (adjective, verb, noun) => {
return ‘I am so ’ + adjective + ’ because I ’ + verb + ’ coding! Time to write some more awesome ’ + noun +’!’;
};

console.log(sillySentence(‘excited’, ‘love’, ‘functions’));

Welcome @osasinfo! So glad you’re here at Codecademy and happy to see you participating in the discussion forums. Awesome!

Just fyi, to include code most effectively in your posts, use the code formatter, i.e., </>

this is the right code ,pay attention to the details in particular (!) at the end
const sillySentence =(adjective,verb,noun)=>{

return 'I am so ’ + adjective + ’ because I ’

  • verb + ’ coding! Time to write some more awesome ’ + noun +’!’;

}

console.log(sillySentence(‘excited’, ‘hate’, ‘functions’));

Did you include the back ticks too?
