 We're not limited to declaring reactive *values* — we can also run arbitrary *statements* reactively. For example, we can log the value of `count` whenever it changes:
 
 ```js
-$: console.log(`the count is ${count}`);
+$: console.log('the count is ' + count);
 ```
 
 You can easily group statements together with a block:
 
 ```js
 $: {
-	console.log(`the count is ${count}`);
-	alert(`I SAID THE COUNT IS ${count}`);
+	console.log('the count is ' + count);
+	alert('I SAID THE COUNT IS ' + count);
 }
 ```
