I'm not sure how to change my input to pass this task?

I recieve the same respoonse and I am not sure what I'm missing. Bummer, make sure to place a space (" ") in between firstName and lastName.

I can't find the mistake in my code.

app.js 
let firstName = "Carlos";
let lastName = "Salgado";
let role = "developer";
let msg = "firstName" + " " + "lastName" + "role";

You don't put the variables inside quoutes. Quotes are for strings. You would use just the variable name. So instead of "firstName" you would just put firstName. I think that's the error even though the error message says the issue is with the string that includes a space. Also, the challenge wants you to include a : with a space after the lastName. So be sure you add a string for that.

Should look something like this:

let firstName = "bob";
let lastName = "ross";
let role = "developer";
let msg = firstName + " " + lastName + ": " + role;

Hi Leland,

You will need to remove the quotation marks from your variable names: firstName, lastName & role.

You will also need to include an extra string to concatenate (": ")which allows the colon and space for the output for the msg variable to say: firstName lastName: role.

Hope this helps, happy coding!
