It means the user is really happy to see you. On a more serious note, it's just a plain `!`, it's a normal char.

With the back-ticks ( slanted single quotation marks ) you can include variables between `${varName}` brackets -- anything that exists outside of them is plain text (string). So, this line will probably print out something like, "Hello Jason!"
