Courses Plus Student 7,340 PointsHi, the approach you have is wrong. The final point of the Fullname variable should not be there, delete it.
After that, the variable will work, but you must use its two variables firstName and lastName to complete Fullname. For example:
var firstName = "Eddy";
var lastName = "Sanchez";
var Fullname = firstName + " " + lastName;
One tip is that the variable Fullname use camelCase, staying like this:
var fullName = firstName + " " + lastName;
Finally, it will work with that, but you can only see it in the console. If you want it to look in HTML, you should add this to your JS file.
document.write(fullName);
I hope you serve, greetings!

16,680 PointsHi Eddy. To create the new variable fullName, you have to use the two variables that you already have (firstName and lastName), and not their values. Although the result would be the same, imagine when you want to change the value of firstName and lastName variables, you would have to manually change fullName too, and that has no sense. If you set the value of fullName to be a compound value from the other two, it will automatically change when the other ones change.
