I've made a program that allows a user to write text on a "white board" and change color in real time. I'm now trying to give the user the ability to change font-size as well. How could I combine the "writing_size" variable with the characters "px" to form a value for "font-size"?

First problem: the
font-sizekey must not be used without apostrophes, becuase it is not a valid JS Object key. You need to write e.g.ng-style="{'font-size': '12px'}".Secondly,
ng-styleattribute is being evaluated as JS, so you can't use the double curly braces syntax, because it is not a valid JS. Just write like you would inside JS:ng-style="{'font-size': writing_size + 'px'}".Your working example:
