Hello Jason,

I think you have an extra space between the quotation mark and the first letter of "Carlos" and "developer" when you are assigning the firstName and role variables..

let firstName = " Carlos";
let lastName = "Salgado";
let role = " developer";
let msg = firstName + " " + lastName ': ' + role;

It also looks like you are mixing the single quotes and double quotes in the message.

When I made these corrections to your code I was able to complete that task successfully.

let firstName = "Carlos";
let lastName = "Salgado";
let role = "developer";
let msg = firstName + " " + lastName + ": " + role;

Happy coding!

Hope this helps. Heidi
