That would be because you removed/modified the code from the first task.

There is a message displayed above the workspace during challenges:

In each task of this code challenge, the code you write should be added to the code from the previous task.

This message tells you that when doing a challenge with multiple tasks you need to keep the code for each task around, this means that just because you moved on to task 2 does not mean you can remove the code from task 1.

Since task 1 asked you to create a firstName variable you need to have that around in order to pass task 2 as well.

Like this:

var firstName = "Omer";
var lastName = "Cohen";

wow what a support !!! i feel safe :) thanks
