let role = 'developer';
let msg = firstName + "Keith" + lastName + "Woods" + ":" + role + "developer";

Hi Keith! -

The challenge is looking for you to create the msg variable formatted as so: "Carlos Salgado: developer"

Since the firstName, lastName and role variables contain this information, you would do so in the following way:

let msg = firstName + " " + lastName + ": " + role;

We have to do this to add the appropriate spaces and punctuation.

Hope this helps!
