How do I add an empty space?

How can I make my first name and my last name appear with a space between since I do not use quotes, therefore I can't add an extra space in the quotes? Tha a lot.

script.js 
var firstName = "Silvia";
var lastName = "Bogdan";
var fullName = firstName+ lastName;
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">

<script src="script.js"></script>

You can simply add a string with a space in it:

  var fullName = firstName + " " + lastName;

Oh, wow, it worked just fine. Thx a lot, I don't think I would have pulled that off even though it looks pretty logical
