On challenge 3 I can't remember ever being told where the "toUpper Case" method goes in the line?

We are trying to get a string that says "Terry Okey: DEVELOPER". Should the method go in a line above the concatenation

app.js 
let firstName = "Terry";
let lastName = "Okey";
let role = "developer";
let msg = firstName + " " + lastName + ": " + role = word.toUppercase();

Hi Terry,

You are very close! You seemed to have redefined role. What you need is to use the .toUpperCase() method to modify role. So just delete everything between role and .toUpperCase() and you're done. Don't forget to capitalize the C in case!

Hope this helps!

Oh right, I am trying to change the value of role this way, no good. I was looking for a way to change to upper case without changing the value of "role" just for this string, and toUpperCase is a method to be called directly on the variable.
