how to use a variable in context.expand

Can u tell me how to use a variable inside this.

 

def y =1;

 

def g  = context.expand('${Operation#Response#//*//consumerProfile/phoneNumber["+y+"]}');

 

this is not taking 1 as value of y

    Some other problem with this Xpath then?

     

    def y = 1
assert '${Operation#Response#//*//consumerProfile/phoneNumber[' + y + ']}' == 
           '${Operation#Response#//*//consumerProfile/phoneNumber[1]}'

    It is already mostly correct, just need to be consistent about the style of quotes:

     

     

    def g  = context.expand('${Operation#Response#//*//consumerProfile/phoneNumber[' + y + ']}');
    //                                                                             ^       ^
