Hi Javier you can add space in a couple of ways:

var name = "Mike";
var string = "Hello " + name + "!"; //space inside the string after Hello

or

var name = "Mike";
var string = "Hello" + " " + name + "!"; //place space in its own string

I personally prefer the first method, but everyone has their own preferences :)

Hope that helps!!

var variable1 = "Hello";
var variable2="World";

var string = variable1 + " " + variable2;
//or
var string = variable1.concat( " ", variable2); 

//"Hello World''
