I gave this a try using String.concat() (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String/concat)

cuts down on all the "" and + you would have to use but required some research the video doesn't cover it but does suggest looking at the MDN site. I came across that just scrolling and 'DING' :)

var favColor = prompt('What is your favorite color?');
var favIngredient = prompt('What is your favorite ingredient?');
var count = favColor.length + favIngredient.length;
var upperCase = favColor.toUpperCase() + " and " + favIngredient.toUpperCase();


alert(upperCase.concat(' has ', count, ' letters in it.'));

Your alert uses variable characterCount but this hasn't been declared or assigned a value. I modified your code as follows:

var firstName = prompt("What is your first name");
var lastName = prompt("What is your last name");
var fullName = firstName.toUpperCase() + ' ' +lastName.toUpperCase();
var characterCount = fullName.length;
alert("the string " + fullName + " is " + characterCount + " characters long.");

ok thanks alot
