Well, you are close. But you should never put variable names in quotes. You also don't need the parentheses, but they don't affect passing the challenge.

I did it this way and I still can't get passed it either. it says I don't have a space between first name and last name.

let msg = firstName + ' ' + lastName + ': ' + role;

This version passes task 2, I pasted it directly into the challenge to check it.

Ah, I had to paste it after I assigned firstName and lastName. Otherwise, I got the same error. Thank you though for your response.
