There is no action to associate the string stored with the role variable therefor how an I suppose to finish this?

app.js 
let firstName = 'Keytron';
let lastName = 'Brown';
let role = 'developer';
let msg = firstName + ' ' + lastName + ':' + role + '.';

Hi Keytron,

there is a built-in javascript method called stringName.toUpperCase() that you can use in this code challenge. This method transforms all letters in the string to uppercase letters. I just cheched and it passes in the code challenge if you use it.

Blessings from Berlin and happy java-scripting, Nils

I know that already. My problem is implementing the .toUpperCase(). The question only says to convert the variable thats inside role but its not telling me to use any methods like console log.

Hi again :)

In your original request for help you did not show the code where you used the toUpperCase method. So I assumed you did not know about this method.

If you paste your complete code here I can I can help you. Without the code I can only make guesses.

Of course I can paste the whole solution here but that wouldn't really be helpful for your learning.

Best wishes, Nils
