Variables won't concatenate

var firstName = "James"; var lastName = "James";

var fullName = firstName + LastName;

Where am I going wrong :S

script.js 
var firstName = "James";
var lastName = "James";

var fullName = firstName + LastName;
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">

Remove uppercase L from lastName in the concat stage.

Additionally SWITCH OFF AD BLOCK as it causes errors.

var firstName = "James"; var lastName = "James";

var fullName = firstName + lastName;
