Unsure what is being formatted wrong

What exactly am I doing wrong with my formatting here? No matter what I do I seem to always get this incorrect.

app.js 
let firstName = "Dalton";
let lastName = "Prock";
let role = 'developer';
var msg = firstName + ' ' + lastName + ' : ' + role;
const shout = role.toUpperCase();

Hey Dalton,

Pay close attention to the wording of the challenges. It expects a certain task to be completed and any major deviation will throw errors.

Nowhere did it ask you to create a shout constant. You're able to use string methods right within the msg concatenation. I'd also recommend being consistent with your use of declaring your variables (let vs. var).

Hope this helps!

Hello Rich,

I much appreciate it! I'll take a look later this weekend as this is the first time I've ever touch this Javascript course.
