Also be sure to use spacing and punctuation exactly as shown in the example, don't leave any out or add any extra.

*const msg = firstName, + ' ' + lastName: + role;
let msg = firstName, + ' ' + lastName: + role;
const msg = 'firstName' , + ' ' + 'lastName' : + 'role';
const msg = firstName, + ' ' + lastName : + role;
const msg = Sahmad, + ' ' + Nakumbe: + developer;
const msg = 'Sahmad', + ' ' + 'Nakumbe': + 'developer';
