I want to console.log a string but also add numbers inside of it. For example if I use the following code:
for (let i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
coinFlip = Math.round(Math.random());
if (coinFlip === 1) {
console.log("#" + i + 1 + " Heads");
} else {
console.log("#" + i + 1 + " Tails");
}
}Since what I want to console.log starts with a string I can't seem to add numbers right after it. They become strings.
I want to get: "#2 Tails"
But I get: "#11 Tails"
How do I get "#2 Tails" instead of "#11 Tails"?
You need to wrap your addition in brackets.
console.log("#" + (i + 1) + " Heads");
or use string interpolation
console.log(`#${i+1} Heads`);
You can first sum up the value of i and 1 to num before the concatination
1)
for (let i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
coinFlip = Math.round(Math.random());
const num = i + 1;
if (coinFlip === 1) {
console.log("#" + num + " Heads");
} else {
console.log("#" + num + " Tails");
}
}2)
for (let i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
coinFlip = Math.round(Math.random());
if (coinFlip === 1) {
console.log("#" + (i + 1) + " Heads");
} else {
console.log("#" + (i + 1) + " Tails");
}
}3)
for (let i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
coinFlip = Math.round(Math.random());
if (coinFlip === 1) {
console.log(`#${i + 1} Heads`);
} else {
console.log(`#${i + 1} Tails`);
}
}
