You added lastName when it is looking for firstName. The next task is to do this for the last name.

Your code looks fine, then. What error are you getting?

Code looks perfect to me, too. Are you getting an error about task one no longer passing? That's the only thing I can think of and the problem I ran into on this challenge, too.

If that's the problem, just make sure you type in the lastName variable on the next line instead of over the top of your firstName variable.
