I cannot complete this challenge. What is wrong with this code?

app.js 
let firstName = "Kat";
let lastName = "Gibbons";
let role = 'developer';

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

You can insert spaces into a string by pressing space inside of the quotes.

ex. ' '

so what you need to do is:

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

The spaces in the string are wrongly managed.
