Combine and manipulate string

how do i create a new variable named msg that combines the firstName, lastName and role variables to create a string ?

let firstName = "Carlos";
let lastName = "Salgado";
let role = "developer";
let msg = firstName  + lastName +  + role;

Hello Grama!

This passes all three (using concatenation):

let firstName = "Grama";
let lastName = "Lulian";
let role = "developer";

let msg = firstName + " " lastName + ": " + role.toUpperCase();

This passes (using a template literal):

let firstName = "Grama";
let lastName = "Lulian";
let role = "developer";

let msg = `${firstName} ${lastName}: ${role.toUpperCase()}`;

I hope that helps.

Stay safe and happy coding!
