230,853 PointsI guess my previous hints weren't quite sufficient. Here's a few more:
- you should use the variables to create the message
- for example, instead of
"micheal " + "jones: "
you might writefirstName + " " + lastName + ": "
- the role is only part of the message and should be concatenated with the rest

7,352 Pointsits role.toUpperCase()
..... role.UpperCase()
will not do anything as that is not the correct method (think this is correct term)
So we define a total of three variables
let firstName = "Jim"
let lastName = "Bob"
let role = "developer"
THEN WE WILL CONCATENATE
let msg = firstName + " " + lastName + ": " + role.toUpperCase();
