I assume you're on the question: "Below role, create a new variable named msg that combines the firstName, lastName and role variables to create a string like "Carlos Salgado: developer"."

The course should explain it well, it's called 'concatenation.'

let firstName = "Iskandar";
let lastName = "Isokjonov";
let role = 'developer';

var msg = firstName + ' ' + lastName + ': ' + role
console.log(msg);

Alternatively, you can use what's called a string literal:

var msg = `${firstName} ${lastName}: ${role}`

Good luck man!
