The following is the code I’ve written in Pluto Notebook:

```julia
md"""
Problem 4: Given with the following x and y data, what is the lagrange polynomial correspond to data at x = $(x₂[1]) and y = $(y₂[1]).
"""

```

The output of the above code is the following:

Problem 4: Given with the following x and y data, what is the lagrange polynomial correspond to data at x = ‘b’: ASCII/Unicode U+0062 (category Ll: Letter, lowercase) and y = ‘y’: ASCII/Unicode U+0079 (category Ll: Letter, lowercase).

Question:  
From the above output the character b and y has definition of ACSII, how to remove it?  
…x = ‘b’: ASCII/Unicode U+0062 (category Ll: Letter, lowercase)  
…y = ‘y’: ASCII/Unicode U+0079 (category Ll: Letter, lowercase)

Thanks in Advance!

I found the solution, here’s what I did?

```julia
begin
	xp4 = "$(x₂[1])"
	yp4 = "$(y₂[1])"
	md"""
	Problem 4: Given with the following x and y data, what is the lagrange polynomial correspond to data at x = $xp4 and y = $yp4.
	"""
end

```

Or

```julia
md"Stuff: $(string(first(x)))"

```
