Hey Rees Mortensen,

Currently, this is what I get when I log your name variable: Rees Mortensen.developer

In your second challenge, you should create a variable name msg. Also, after firstName you have missed + sign and after lastName you should replace . with :

Your code for second challenge should look like this:

let firstName = 'Rees';
let lastName = 'Mortensen';
let role = 'developer';

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

Hope this helps!
