Below role, create a new variable named msg that combines the firstName, lastName and role variables to create a string

let firstName = "jose"; let lastName = "diaz"; let role = 'developer'; const msg = 'firstName' +' ' +'lastName' +'role';

app.js 
let firstName = "jose";
let lastName = "diaz";
let role = 'developer';
const msg = 'firstName' +' ' +'lastName' +'role';

Hello Jose Diaz-Dardon! The reason why the message is printing out 'firstName lastNamerole' is that you don't put variables in strings. You simply do this: 'const msg = firstName + ' ' + lastName + ' ' + role'.

Hopefully this helped! 😊
