2,783 PointsHow to convert only Developer to uppercase
Finally, convert the string stored in role to uppercase letters. The final msg string should look similar to this: "Carl
let firstName = "Anthony";
let lastName = "Gunsch";
let role = 'developer';
let msg = firstName + ' ' + lastName + " : " + role;

You're so close!
Lose the space before the :
And then just add .toUpperCase() to role (to pass task #3).
This passes all three tasks:
let firstName = "Anthony";
let lastName = "Gunsch";
let role = 'developer';
let msg = firstName + ' ' + lastName + ": " + role.toUpperCase();
// Alt Solution (which will also pass) using template literal syntax
// let msg = `${firstName} ${lastName}: ${role.toUpperCase()}`;
// Don't forget the surrounding backticks!

I hope that helps.
Stay safe and happy coding!

36,425 PointsHi Lee!
After seeing your code, it's clear what the problems are.
First of all, the challenge is about using variables, so use them in the msg string.
Next, since you are attempting to use template literal syntax, you need to surround your string with backticks, not quotes.
Backticks are the lowercase character above the tab key and to the left of the 1/! key. (The uppercase of the same key is the tilda character: ~
Therefore, your last line should be:
let msg = `${firstName} ${lastName}: ${role.toUpperCase()}`; // Note: ` is neither ' nor "
I hope that helps.
Stay safe and happy coding!

678 PointsWhen I follow what you say it tells me to make sure I'm concatenating ':' to lastName and role. What am I doing wrong? Please help.
