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

app.js 
let firstName = "Franco";
let lastName = "Thomas";
let role = 'developer';
let msg = firstName + ' ' lastName +':' + ' ' role;

Hi Franco,

You're very close, you're just missing a couple of plus signs. There needs to be one between every string that is being concatenated:

let msg = firstName + ' ' + lastName + ':' + ' ' + role;
