Hi Dantarius!

This passes all three tasks:

let firstName = 'Dantarius';
let lastName = 'Jernagin;
let role = 'developer';

let msg = firstName + " " + lastName + ": " + role.toUpperCase();

// This will also pass (using a template literal):
// let msg = `${firstName} ${lastName}: ${role.toUpperCase()}`;
// (Make sure to include the surrounding backticks.)

I hope that helps.

Stay safe and happy coding!

No worries...

This one has tripped up quite a few students, for some reason, so don't feel bad.

Happy to help, anyway, though!
