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

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

Is there a space after the colon?
