Hi Ijac,

I see that your using double quote wrong. I sugget use a single quote instead for your javascript strings. 

alert('The string\"' + completeName + '\" is '+ characterCount + 'Characters long.' );

Also, your completeName.lenght is missed spell. 

var firstName = prompt("What is your first name?"); 
var lastName = prompt("What is your last name?"); 
var completeName = firstName.toUpperCase() + ' ' + lastName.toUpperCase() ; 
var characterCount = completeName.length ; 
alert('The string ' + completeName + ' is '+ characterCount + ' Characters long.' );

Hope this help!

Cheers! Owa
