Front End Web Development Techdegree Student 2,678 Pointshaving trouble figuring this one out, it says, Finally, convert the string stored in role to uppercase letters.
Finally, convert the string stored in role to uppercase letters. The final msg string should look similar to this: "Carl
let firstName ="Kyle";
let lastName ="Long";
let role = 'developer'.toUppercase();
let msg = firstName + " " + lastName + ": " + role;

47,197 PointsHi Kyle, The .toUpperCase() method gets attached to the role variable in your msg concatenation, not at the end of the variable declaration. Make sure that the 'c' in the method you have is a capital C.
Hope this helps.

Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 4,673 PointsHi Kyle,
You did everything correct except for not camel casing the method toUpperCase() as it should be. Below is how your code runs in the console when you want to see what msg is:
let firstName ="Kyle"; let lastName ="Long"; let role = 'developer'.toUpperCase(); let msg = firstName + " " + lastName + ": " + role; undefined msg "Kyle Long: DEVELOPER"

47,197 PointsHi Mark,
With the hint, I think they were trying to show you another example of how to do .toUpperCase() or something like that. Don't worry about that.
But the error message did say not to modify the original string stored in role. The modification goes down in the let msg line. First of all, delete the concatenation of the period at the end of that line. It's outside the string the challenge wants. Next, put a space after the colon (so it will separate your name from the word developer). Finally, attach the .toUpperCase() method to the end of role in the concatenation rather than as you did up above where role was defined.
Hope this helps!

UX Design Techdegree Graduate 16,092 PointsI'm stuck on this problem. I attempted what read here ( though not entirely sure that I understood it.)
let firstName = "Mark"; let lastName = "Anderson"; let role = 'developer'.toUpperCase(); let msg = firstName + " " + lastName + ":" + role + ".";
received this message - Bummer: The original string stored in role should not be modified.
The hint is- const word = "javascript";
// the value of 'shout' is "JAVASCRIPT" const shout = word.toUpperCase();
This is confusing to me because I don't grasp why the value shout is used. But this is closer to the video where he used a variable but he also used the console.log as well.

Thank you for the tips. I was able to finish up the quiz. I have a slightly better understanding of the details now. Thank you!
