Question

In php you can use variables inside of double-quotes. eg:

$dog = "scooby";
echo "$dog $dog doo";

Is it possible to do something similar in javascript without breaking the string up into pieces:

var dog = "scooby";
alert($dog + " " + $dog + " doo");

Thanks (in advance) for your help.

No, you can’t. Javascript does not have string interpolation, so you must concatenate:

var dog = "fido"
dog + " " + dog + " doo"
