// THE POINT THIS WEEK
Concatenation and template literals. Math operators. Input with prompt.
// TALKING POINTS
Strings do work
- Concatenation glues strings with +
- Template literals use backticks and ${slots}: cleaner, calmer
- prompt() asks the user a question and hands you their answer
Math without mystery
- + - * / do what they say; % gives the remainder after division
- Remainder is secretly everywhere: even/odd, cycles, clocks
- Numbers from prompt arrive as strings; convert before you calculate
