Carlos Salgado: .toUpperCase() task 3.

Hey guys, I have gone over this and can't past this task. This is what I have and keep coming back to. Any hints?

app.js 
let firstName = 'Jeremy';
let lastName = 'Curtin';
let role = 'developer';

let msg = firstName +" "+lastName +":"+ role.toUpperCase+".";

Hey so I just removed the "." you had at the end of the string, since that's not what was strictly required (The tests can be very picky sometimes). Also you forgot to add () at the end of toUpperCase, which might have been the main cause of your problems:

let firstName = 'Jeremy';
let lastName = 'Curtin';
let role = 'developer';

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

What Nicole said...also you forgot to add a space after your colon ": ". These automated tests are pretty particular.
