Why is this asking me to add a space? I'm doing exactly as the error says

app.js 
let firstName = "Seth";
let lastName = "Cardoza";
let role = 'developer';
let msg = ( firstName + '' + lastName + role);

You need to add a space in between the quotes to add a space between firstName and lastName.

Also note how the challenge wants the msg to be formatted: "Carlos Salgado: developer". This means not only you need a space between firstName and lastName, but you also need a colon and a space after lastName.
