Why isn't the uppercase applying to role?

Not sure what the variable should be for the final step where const and toUpperCase apply to the role

app.js 
let firstName = "Alexandra";
let lastName = "Velez";
let role = 'developer';

var msg = firstName + " " + lastName + ":" + " " + role;

const final = role.toUpperCase();

Hey Alexandra,

In the challenge, you are not asked to create a new variable and then change 'const role' to upper case. You can just add the toUpperCase to 'role' in the msg variable...

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

Hope this clears things up a bit. :)
