Courses Plus Student 1,370 PointsT-shirts 4 Mike concatenation quiz issue
Can't seem to figure out where I am going wrong on 2/4 of code challenge (even after re-watching video).
Question: Create a variable called fullName and assign it a value equal to the concatenation of the firstName variable, a space, the middleName variable, a space, and the lastName variable.
My answer: $lastName = "Frog"; $firstName = "Mike"; $middleName = "the"; $fullName = $firstName . "\n" . $middleName . "\n" . $lastName;
The result: Bummer! $fullName is set, but it's not the concatenation of $firstName, $middleName, and $lastName with spaces between them.
Any ideas? Thanks!

Treehouse Guest TeacherThe code \n produces a line break, a hard return. You want just a simple space:
$fullName = $firstName . " " . $middleName . " " . $lastName;
