You won't require the prompt for this challenge as this would ask the user a question and store the result in a variable.
If you remove this it will sort it :)
So:
var firstName = prompt('davide');
becomes:
var firstName = 'davide';

7,316 PointsThe question is asking you to create a variable with first name. Take out the prompt() method and your code should be fine. I hope this help you with the challenge.
var firstName = " davide";
