Hi, in order to make role into uppercase you add .toUpperCase to role I hope this helps

let firstName = "Paul";
let lastName = "Messmer";
let role = 'developer';
const msg = firstName + " " +  lastName + ": " + role.toUpperCase();

So I tried that, this is the error I'm getting ... 'Bummer: Make sure you're concatenating : to lastName and role.' soit's basically backtracking me (to the last challenge) when I put that in.
