Combine and Manipulate strings

I still dont understand what I am doing here. It just doesn't make sense to me.

app.js 
let firstName="Micheal";
let lastName="Jones";
let role = "developer";
var msg= firstName +" "+ lastName;

Hi Michaeal,

This one is tricky. The directions have to be read very carefully.

"Below role, create a new variable named msg that combines the firstName, lastName and role variables to create a string like "Carlos Salgado: developer".

So you need to output: "Michaeal Jones: developer". Like this:

let firstName = "Michael";
let lastName ="Jones";
let role = 'developer';
let msg = firstName + " " + lastName + ": " + role;

Happy Coding!
