what is wrong here? let msg = firstName + " " lastName + ": " + role.toUpperCase();

app.js 
let firstName = "Sophia";
let lastName = "Jackson";
let role = 'developer';
let msg = firstName + " " + lastName + ": " + role;

let msg = firstName + " " lastName + ": " + role.toUpperCase();

Hi Sophia!

For the second task, just add .toUpperCase to role on the fourth line.

The tests don't generally like repeating lines of code, in other words.

Like this (task 1):

let firstName = "Sophia";
let lastName = "Jackson";
let role = 'developer';
let msg = firstName + " " + lastName + ": " + role;

Task 2:

let firstName = "Sophia";
let lastName = "Jackson";
let role = 'developer';
let msg = firstName + " " + lastName + ": " + role.toUpperCase();

You could do this also:

let msg = `${firstName} ${lastName}: ${role.toUpperCase()}`; // using a template literal

I hope that helps.

Stay safe and happy coding!

Sorry, I just noticed I left off the second backtick in my template literal example, but I just fixed it!?! (Don't tell anybody!?! LOL)
