This seems simple but I am getting stuck trying to figure out spacing. I get an error saying watch spacing

what do I do after I create the variable "msg"

app.js 
let firstName = "Simon";
let lastName = "McGraw";
let role = 'developer';
let msg ;

Hi Simon, This looks like the second challenge. It wants you to concatenate the variables together into a string similar to the one in the instructions. To do that you join the variable names (firstName, etc.) with plus signs and add strings with spacing and the colon as required between them (inside quotation marks) to match the example.

Hope this helps.
