I'm stuck

app.js 
let firstName = 'Jamar';
let lastName = 'Taylor';
let role = 'developer';

let msg = firstName + ' '  + lastName + ': ' + role;

To convert the string stored in role to uppercase letters you should use toUpperCase() method. Check this:

let msg = firstName + ' '  + lastName + ': ' + role.toUpperCase();

So close!

It's just extra space and that you have given after firstName space.

It should be:

let msg = firstName + ' ' + lastName + ': ' + role;
