Everything about String interpolation
Replacing placeholders in a string with values
In computer programming, string interpolation is the process of evaluating a string literal containing one or more placeholders, yielding a result in which the placeholders are replaced with their corresponding values. It is a form of simple template processing or, in formal terms, a form of quasi-quotation. The placeholder may be a variable name, or in some languages an arbitrary expression, in either case evaluated in the current context. Wikipedia →
