Hi Raed!

There are two ways (at least) to get it to pass (all three):

This way (using string concatenation):

let firstName = "Raed";
let lastName = "Aseri";
let role = 'developer';

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

Or this way (using an ES6 template literal):

let firstName = "Raed";
let lastName = "Aseri";
let role = 'developer';

let msg = `${firstName} ${lastName}: ${role.toUpperCase()}`;  // Make sure to include the backticks

(Make sure your spacing is accurate, too!?!)

I hope that helps.

Stay safe and happy coding!
