    ${} is the syntax for using template literals - where you use `` to encapsulate the entire string without having to break or close out strings to do variables. So instead of: 

    var name = "Chayce";

    var string = "My name is " + name

    You can use `` to do: 

    var string = `My name is ${name}`
