Make sure you concat the strings properly in line 4

While Joy Ahmed is correct, I'm not sure if you spotted the mistakes since you didn't spot them on your own initially. Be sure to include the plus sign (+) between each section of your concatenated strings. You have one after your variables, before the space and colon space, but you didn't put one after the spaces:

//wrong
let msg = firstName + " " lastName + ": " role ;

//right
let msg = firstName + " " + lastName + ": " + role;

Also, as a matter of style (and to save yourself potential headache later), you should not put the extra space at the end of your code before the semicolon.
