Assign your first name to the variable firstName and your last name to lastName.

....

app.js 
let = prompt'SahmadName';
let = prompt'NakumbeName';
let role = 'developer';

prompt () Will have a box pop up when the program is ran and then store what is typed into the variable. This callenege is asking you to store your name in each variable. But, you don't need the prompt method.

let firstName = "Paul"
let lastName = "Messmer"
let role = "developer"

This will store Paul in first name, Messmer in last name and developer in role.

Paul is correct, but it's a "best practice" to include semicolons at the end of statements (even if not technically necessary):

let firstName = 'Sahmad';
let lastName = 'Nakumbe';
let role = 'developer';

This is what I used to pass

app.js 
let firstName = 'team';
let lastName = 'treehouse';
let role = 'developer';
let msg = firstName + ' ' + lastName + ": " + role.toUpperCase();
