-In [Get Started,](/tutorials/get-started) you learned that strings are [data types](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Data_structures) that are always surrounded by quotation marks (`""`). To use variables and strings together, we can use [template literals](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Template_literals) to help us! Template literals begin and end with backticks (`\`\``) instead of quotation marks (`""`). You can type any character in between the backticks to generate a string like in [this example](https://editor.p5js.org/Msqcoding/sketches/pfSJLvxOB). You can include a variable in the string using the `${}` placeholder, and by placing the name of the variable inside the curly brackets like in [this example](https://editor.p5js.org/Msqcoding/sketches/8sM-h5Hd9).
