Convert Last Word to Capital Letters

How do I convert the last word in the string to Capital Letters?

app.js 
let firstName = 'Frank';
let lastName = 'Grillo';
let role = 'developer';

let msg = firstName + ' ' + lastName + ':' + role + '.';

let word = 'developer';

let shout = developer.toUpperCase();

Hi Frank. Couple of issues here. First delete word and shout. Those are not needed. Your format for changing to uppercase on shout is correct. Move that to role on the msg variable.

Now you also have to be careful and build the msg string exactly like they ask. So you need a space after the :. So it should be like + ‘: ‘. And then also get rid of the period at the end. They didn’t ask for that. Hope this helps Frank and post back to the community if you are still stuck.
