Converting to Upper Case

Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong on Line 5? I cannot figure out how to change the role "developer" to uppercase.

app.js 
let firstName = "Alex";
let lastName = "Parelius";
let role = 'developer';
let msg = firstName + " " + lastName + ":" + " " + role;
let shout = role.toUpperCase();

Hi there Alex 👋🏻,

The challenge just wants you to make role uppercase within the msg variable. Therefore line 5 is not needed.

let firstName = "Alex";
let lastName = "Parelius";
let role = 'developer';
let msg = firstName + " " + lastName + ": " + role.toUpperCase();

Kind regards, Berian

Hey Brian. Could you also tell me how to keep the Workspace open so that it doesn't minimize each type I pause/play/rewind/etc. the video lesson or switch to a different tab?
