Looks like I missed your previous replies. Let's take a look at your code from Nov 17:
let firstName= "Victor";
let lastName= "Hernandez";
let role = 'developer';
let msg= firstName+' '+lastName+':'+role+'.'+role.toUpperCase();
// produces "Victor Hernandez:developer.DEVELOPER"
The beginning looks great, you've got the space added between firstName and lastName and a colon following it. You need to keep with that, explicitly adding exactly what you want in the string. Currently you have the role variable in there twice, you haven't added a space, and there's a period where there shouldn't be one.
To make it match the string "Victor Hernandez: DEVELOPER" you can do as follows:
let msg= firstName+' '+lastName+':'+' '+role.toUpperCase();
// produces "Victor Hernandez: DEVELOPER"
Notice that after concatenating the colon to the string I added a space, just like between the first two words. I've only used the role variable once, with the toUpperCase() method to capitalize it.
As always with code there are a number of ways to accomplish the same thing. One way to simplify it would be to combine the colon and space between one set of quotes:
let msg= firstName+' '+lastName+': '+role.toUpperCase();
// produces "Victor Hernandez: DEVELOPER"

11,820 PointsHi Victor,
The challenge wants you to assign your name to the variables and then use those variables to build a message by concatenating strings.
In your first two lines you've set the variables appropriately as strings but the comma is unnecessary. If you remove the comma after Victor and Hernandez then when you use those variables later they will accurately represent your first and last name.
The message should be built from the variables. Instead of typing out your name again you'll type firstName and lastName. For example:
let firstName= "Victor";
let lastName= "Hernandez";
let msg = firstName + " " + lastName;
// builds a string "Victor Hernandez" and stores it in the variable msg
Lastly you'll want to pay attention to punctuation and spacing when you concatenate the strings in the message. Since the variables don't include spacing/punctuation we add in these strings manually, like the space in between your first and last name in my above example.
If I run the code in your post it produces this for msg:
"Victor, Hernandez,:developer . "
The goal is to match this format exactly:
"Victor Hernandez: developer"
Pay careful attention to the spacing -- one space between firstName and lastName and a colon and a space between lastName and role.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions.
