Hi Lee,

there are few problems with your code. First you you have to pass variable name not the string value. Your variables already holds the values you assigned to them earlier. Also you are missing closing curly bracket and have a dot at the end of the sentence. Look at the code below and see the difference.

let firstName = 'John';
let lastName = 'Rambo';
let role = 'developer';

let msg = `${firstName} ${lastName}: ${role.toUpperCase()}`;

I just typed it the way you did. Now its saying make sure you are adding one space (' ') between firstName and lastName.

You also have a single quote instead of a back tick in your stringlMsg variable
