Not exactly sure where I'm going wrong here

I'm looking at my notes and thought I was plugging in the commands properly but I guess not. Is there anyone who can assist?

app.js 
const name = prompt"firstName";
let message =  Kamran + "lastName" + Hussain;
let role = 'developer';

Hi Kamran,

Lots to unpack here, but great effort! Here are my thoughts:

  1. Prompt is actually not needed to complete the challenge.
  2. Let's look at your message variable. If you enter this as is into the console, it will throw an error because Kamran and Hussain are being treated as variables instead of strings. You want to use firstName and lastName in the message variable. You don't want to retype your full name. For example:
let firstName = "Spongebob"; 
let lastName = "Squarepants"; 
let msg = firstName + " " + lastName; // If logged to the console, this will read: Spongebob Squarepants

Hope this helps!
