Question about Newton exercise in JAVASCRIPT SYNTAX, PART I

Get Help JavaScript
#1

Hi, everyone!

I have a question concerning the outcome of this lines:

const kelvin = 0;

const celsius = kelvin - 273;

let farenheit = celsius * (9/5) + 32;

let newton = celsius * (33/100);

farenheit = Math.floor(farenheit);

newton = Math.floor(newton);

console.log(The temperature is ${farenheit} degrees Fahrenheit.;

console.log(The temperature is ${newton} degrees Newton.);

Outcome:

/home/ccuser/workspace/learn-javascript-intro-kelvin-weather/app.js:11
console.log(The temperature is ${farenheit} degrees Fahrenheit.;
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
SyntaxError: missing ) after argument list

Why when I run to print two answers it shows me an error? I was expecting to receive two prints as results, but it’s only possible when I keep only the string interpolation &{newton}.

Thanks!

Can we have a link to the exercise? Also, don’t forget to format your code [How to] Format code in posts

Also, it looks like the first console.log() does not have the closing parentheses.

#3

By the looks of it they do actually have the backticks, but Discourse is interpreting that as a code snippet so isn’t displaying them, it looks like the error is just caused by the parenthesis :slightly_smiling_face:

Didn’t realize I fixed my post.
