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

app.js 
let firstName = 'Sahmad' ;
let lastName = 'Nakumbe' ;
let role = 'developer';
const msg = firstName, + ' ' + lastName: + role;

You're close. The colon (and space) must be enclosed in quotes and combined the same way you added the space between the names. And the comma should not be there.

Oops, you were closer the first time. :see_no_evil:

You won't need to add any parentheses or commas. But the colon/space need to be added between lastname and role the same way you added just a space between the names.
