Hi Asia,

The goal of this challenge is to use the variable names. You are currently using the values that are stored in them which would output correctly. However, it does not meet the challenge requirements.

For example, you use 'asia', but instead it is looking for firstName.

Also, pay attention to the format it is looking for. It wants a space after the colon. You have + ':' +, but it should be + ': ' +

thank you. I dont think thats the problem because on task two its telling me it is correct with asia and flowers. however i tried your suggestion and its telling me this is incorrect still. i also tried it my way with the space after the colon and its still incorrect. im not sure what im missing ive rewatched the videos it appears im doing it right.

Hey Asia,

When you tried it that way did you make sure to exclude quotes around firstName, lastName, and role.toUpperCase()?

ooooh i see. i just tried this and it worked thank you!! i was stuck here for hours lol
