I have the msg variable typed out as
let msg = firstName + ' ' + lastName + ': ' + role;
am I missing something? ty!
let firstName;
let lastName;
let role = 'developer';
let msg = firstName + ' ' + lastName + ': ' + role;
firstName = "Paul";
lastName = "Narrea";

You have assigned a value for the firstName and lastName variable at the very end. JS is a single-threaded language which means it reads code from top to bottom so when JS reads the above code it will execute the following output:
undefined undefined: developer
You could change your code into this:
let firstName;
let lastName;
let role = 'developer';
firstName = "Paul";
lastName = "Narrea";
let msg = firstName + ' ' + lastName + ': ' + role;
Or you could just simply write it this way to avoid error
let firstName = "Paul";
let lastName = "Narrea";
let role = 'developer';
let msg = firstName + ' ' + lastName + ': ' + role;
Hope this helps!
