JavaScript JavaScript Basics (Retired) Storing and Tracking Information with Variables Combining Strings

I can't seem to pass this. I've added the following but it keeps saying Task one is no longer passing.

I've looped through a few times now but my code attached can't seem to pass. What am I doing wrong?

script.js
var firstName = "Mary";
var lastName = "Jones";
var fullName = (firstName ' '+ lastName);
document.write (fullName);
index.html
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
  <title>JavaScript Basics</title>
</head>
<body>
<script src="script.js"></script>

</html>

Perhaps change your variable fullname to the following:

var fullName = (firstName + ' ' + lastName);

Ugh, that was it. Thank you!
