how to print variable alongside text using .text()

Question

Is it possible to print a variable alongside text using .text?

This is my code currently but it doesn't seem to work

var rowCount = $('#result li').length;
$('#count').text((rowCount)"results for");

thanks for your help

`$('#count').text(rowCount+" results for")` or using ES6 template literals `$('#count').text(\`${rowCount} results for\`)` — connexo, Nov 18 '18 at 00:53
Note that this isn't really about how `.text()` works, it's about how to concatenate values together. So the same solutions will apply for use in other situations including calling other functions, variable assignments, etc. — nnnnnn, Nov 18 '18 at 01:16
You can even do both in one line: `$('#count').text(\`${$('#result li').length} results for\`)` — connexo, Nov 18 '18 at 01:17

Try to use this :

var rowCount = $('#result li').length;
alert($('#count').text(rowCount+"results for"));

Yes sure it's possible. If I understand you correctly you want the variable printed along with some text.

var rowCount = $('#result li').length;
$('#count').text(rowCount + " results for");

or es6

var rowCount = $('#result li').length;
$('#count').text(`${rowCount} results for`);
