How do I append “ rocks!” to the end of the contents of the firstName variable and print it to the screen using Console?

Adding + rocks!+ doesn't seem to be doing the trick

CodeChallenge.cs 
string firstName = Console.ReadLine ();
Console.WriteLine (firstName);
Console.WriteLine ("firstName" + " rocks!" +);

The "rocks" are fine.

But you don't want to put quotes around the variable name, that makes it literally represent the word firstName instead of the value that was assigned to the variable.

And you only want one WriteLine statement (the one with the "rocks").
