So first off, there is no need to use prompt for this challenge. Just assign the variable using 

let firstName = "Jacquelyn";
let lastName = "Springs";
let role = "Developer";

Now to put it all together it is asking you to concatenate a string which can be done with + symbols.

let msg = "This is a string that has been concatenated by " + firstName + " who is a " + role;

or alternatively you can use backticks to make it easier, but I believe that is a later tutorial.

let msg = `This is a string that has been concatenated by ${firstName} who is a ${role}`;
