Concatenation code challenge.

I'm stuck on the second question, which is :Create a variable called fullName and assign it a value equal to the concatenation of the firstName variable, a space, the middleName variable, a space, and the lastName variable.

My answer is: $fullName = $firstName . " " . $middleName . " " . $lastName;

The response that I receive is: Bummer! $fullName is set, but it's not the concatenation of $firstName, $middleName, and $lastName with spaces between them.

I do not see what I'm doing wrong. May someone help me out , thanks.

Ok I'm not entirely sure but you may be missing a space. $fullName = $firstName . " " . $middleName . " " . %lastName;

Hi,

Not sure what course you are on, but i am guessing you might need some +'es in there :-)

Try: $fullName = $firstName + " " + $middleName + " " + $lastName;

Let me know if that works?
