I don't know what to do, I've tried tons of ways, and it still didn't work? I posted the question down below

Below role, create a new variable named msg that combines the firstName, lastName and role variables to create a string

app.js 
let firstName = 'jon'; 
let lastName = 'doe'; 
let role = 'developer'; 
let message = firstName + lastName;
let msg = message + role;

I believe the question meant for you to combine the firstname, lastname and role like "Carlos Salgado: developer" so you need to assign it like this

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

don't forget the space in between firstName and lastName and the colon ":" in between lastName and role
