4,213 PointsYou've added a space to your first name instead of adding a space inside fullName variable. Also you are using the variable secondName instead of lastName. The Solution should look something like this..
Solution:
// Shayne Laufenberg //
// Javascript Basics - Combining Strings //
// Declare first name //
var firstName = "Shayne";
// Declare Last Name //
var lastName = "Laufenberg";
// Declare Full Name //
var fullName = firstName + " " + lastName;

4,213 PointsThis may be the case but i would highly advice not to add spaces in variables unless justified. Glad you ended up figuring it out though :)
