const msg = firstName + " " + lastName + ":" + role.toUpperCase() + ".";
or you can use the new ES syntax and type it like that which is far more readable
let msg = `${firstName} ${lastName}: ${role.toUpperCase()}`;

2,268 Pointsso I typed this
let letters = role.toUpperCase();
and its giving me the error "Bummer: Use the .toUpperCase() method to convert the role string to all upper-case."
what am I doing wrong?
Volodymyr Rusnyk
9,657 PointsNo, how to add upper case to role string
Dimitar Dimitrov
11,800 Pointsconst msg = firstName + " " + lastName + ":" + role.toUpperCase() + ".";
this is the answer and it has been aswered in the same thread you add .toUpperCase() to the role variable.

9,657 PointsIs anybody know how to add UpperCase to role? I have tried all those methods and it doesn’t work I don't know why?

9,626 Pointslet msg = `${firstName} ${lastName}: ${role.toUpperCase()}`;
Try to use the ES syntax with the string interiorlation. Well at least it worked for me) The challenge probably wants to use the new Syntax

13,589 PointsIt is so weird instead of typing the answer like :
const msg = firstName + " " + lastName + ":" + role.toUpperCase() + ".";
the system only accept :
const msg = ${firstName} ${lastName}: ${role.toUpperCase()};
But at this point, we don't know the answer the system accept.

6,286 Pointsso as was going over this again ,.. this is what I thought the answer would be, as it made sense with what we had learnt so far .. .. let msg = firstName + " " + lastName + ":" + role.toUpperCase() + "."; but alas this is the correct answer, let msg = ${firstName} ${lastName}: ${role.toUpperCase()}; and I am feeling abit lost now .. .

9,626 PointsHey, this is just a new way of string concatenation or string interpolation in other words. The handy part of the new method you don't need bunch of + pluses as it'll contact anyways and even create space when you leave some blank space. But you need also backticks to begin and to close

This is the answer to what you're asking?

4,128 PointsTadjiev is correct. The course doesn’t tell you but, you need to use the new syntax using the ` , $ and {} instead of single quotes. View his answer. Worked for me as well. Thanks Tadjiev!

4,925 PointsThis is a huge reason why I think people quit this program. It seems like the quizzes don't align with what we just learned in the other videos which leads into a crapload of time wasted and major frustration. The hint is absolutely crap and confusing, Why would you name something "Shout" then not show the code which it refers to so that we can make sense of it and use the code in a similar fashion to answer this question directly. Instead here I am, confused as heck joining what looks like a lot of people frustrated over the exact same thing.
