Below role, create a new variable named msg that combines the firstName, lastName and role variables to create a string

I can't seem to figure out why this is wrong. Ik it is something, but I can't find it.

app.js 
let firstName = 'Javi';
let lastName = 'Caballero';
let role = 'developer';
let msg = firstName + " Javier " + lastName + "Caballero: developer" + role;

What this code currently puts into msg is: "Javi Javier CaballeroCaballero: developerdeveloper".

You will only need to use literal strings for spaces and/or punctuation. Your names and the role are filled in by the variables.
