I can't figure out how to add space to two strings I'm trying to concatenate.

I have a prompt box that has the user enter their first name and last name, and it's supposed return their name with a couple of messages.

For example, if you enter Matt Damon the program returns MattDamon. I would like the program to return Matt Damon. Any help would be appreciated.

You could simply add + " " + in between firstname and lastname.

Easy fix, all you have to do is concatenate a space in between your firstName and lastName variables.

var message ="Hello " + firstName + " " + lastName;

If you have any questions let me know.
