JavaScript · Junior · Question 52 of 75

What does a template literal give you compared to string concatenation?

const msg = `Hello, ${name}!
You have ${count} new messages.`;

✓Correct answer: Embedded expressions with ${...} and multi-line strings without \n
2Automatic HTML escaping of inserted values
3Faster string comparison

Explanation

Backtick strings evaluate any expression inside ${}. They don't escape anything, so building HTML from user input with them is still an XSS risk.
