Is my solution wrong? It works but it's kinda different than whats in the solution video. 

var firstName = prompt("What is your first name?");

var lastName = prompt("What is your last name?");

var firstName = firstName.toUpperCase() + ' ';

var lastName = lastName.toUpperCase();

var firstLast = firstName.concat(lastName);

var totalCharacters = firstLast.length;

alert(`The string '${firstLast}' is ${totalCharacters} charcters long.`);

You shouldn't declare variables more than once. For example:

var firstName = firstName.toUpperCase() + ' ';

should just be:

firstName = firstName.toUpperCase() + ' ';
