Bummer: Use the `.toUpperCase()` method to convert the `role` string to all upper-case.

const msg = firstName + " " + lastName + ":" + role.toUpperCase() + ".";

app.js 
const firstName = "Royce";
const lastName = "Nmorka";
const role = "developer";

//const shout = role.toUpperCase();

const msg = firstName + " " + lastName + ":" + role.toUpperCase() + ".";

Hi Royce Nmorka

For the most part, you do have it correct. Challenges and the instructions are very specific, and often, the task will not pass if one little thing is off.

The Bummer message is very misleading here. All you need to fix up are two things:

  1. There needs to be a space between the colon and the role (as the example show), so just add a space after the colon.
  2. The task will not accept a period at the end. The instructions don't ask for it and the example doesn't have one, so putting one there causes the task to fail.

So, while this will work just fine: 

const msg = firstName + " " + lastName + ":" + role.toUpperCase() + ".";

It needs to be: 

const msg = firstName + " " + lastName + ": " + role.toUpperCase();

Nice work! :) :dizzy:
