String Interpolation
Part of the Fundamentals section of Coddy's Dart journey — lesson 38 of 94.
String interpolation uses the $ symbol to embed variables directly inside string literals.
Create variables to store user information:
String name = "Dart";
int age = 12;
double version = 2.19;Use string interpolation to include these variables in a string:
String message = "Language: $name, Age: $age, Version: $version";
print(message);After executing the above code, the output will be:
Language: Dart, Age: 12, Version: 2.19Challenge
BeginnerCreate a program that uses string interpolation to display information about a user profile. String interpolation allows you to embed variables directly inside string literals using the $ symbol.
- Use the provided variables to create a profile summary using string interpolation.
- Print the profile summary with the exact format shown in the example below.
- Create a second string that shows the user's subscription details using string interpolation.
- Print the subscription details with the exact format shown in the example below.
Example output format:
Profile: Name: Alex, Age: 28, Premium User: true Subscription: $9.99 per month, Active for 3.5 years
Cheat sheet
String interpolation uses the $ symbol to embed variables directly inside string literals:
String name = "Dart";
int age = 12;
double version = 2.19;
String message = "Language: $name, Age: $age, Version: $version";
print(message);Output:
Language: Dart, Age: 12, Version: 2.19Try it yourself
void main() {
// User profile information
String name = 'Alex';
int age = 28;
bool isPremiumUser = true;
// Subscription details
double monthlyFee = 9.99;
double yearsActive = 3.5;
// TODO: Create a profile summary using string interpolation
// Format: Profile: Name: Alex, Age: 28, Premium User: true
String profileSummary = '';
// TODO: Create subscription details using string interpolation
// Format: Subscription: $9.99 per month, Active for 3.5 years
String subscriptionDetails = '';
// Print the results
print(profileSummary);
print(subscriptionDetails);
