what am i doing wrong?

app.js
let firstName = 'Nico';
let lastName = 'Nastase';
let role = 'developer';
let shout = role.toUpperCase();
let msg = firstName  + ' ' + lastName + ':' +  shout + '.';

Hi Nico,

The issue here is that you are also concatenating a period.

Also, you could just add the toUpperCase method directly to the role variable inside the message string.

let firstName = 'Nico';
let lastName = 'Nastase';
let role = 'developer';
let msg = firstName  + ' ' + lastName + ': ' +  role.toUpperCase();

Kind regards, Berian

Done! Thank you so much for your help

I did that , what you’ve saying, and i get this message “ Make sure you’re concatenating ‘:’ to lastName and role.

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

Is there a space after the colon?
