Does anyone have the answer to this question? I have tried a million different ways with no solution.

app.js 
let firstName = 'chris';
let lastName = 'starks';
let role = 'developer';
const msg = Chris + ' ' + Starks: + role'.';

Very close!

You have to watch the automated grader for subtleties of spacing and syntax. Make sure you use the variable names and there wasn't a period at the end.

That tripped me up too.

let firstName = 'chris';
let lastName = 'starks';
let role = 'developer';
const msg = firstName + ' ' + lastName + ': ' + role;
