Task 3 is asking us to "Create a variable named fullName that combines both the first and last name variables to create a string like "Mary Jones".

A couple of Mistakes in your code. You combined the values instead of the firstName and lastName variables. Also, spacing before and after plus sign. Also, use either double quotes or single quotes but not both.

Before::

var firstName="nameless";
var lastName="noble";
var fullName= nameless +' '+ noble; //value is 'nameless noble'

After:: 

var firstName="nameless";
var lastName="noble";
var fullName= firstName + " " + lastName;
