You don't need quotes - let msg = firstName+lastName+role+".";

There are not strings just variables apart from the ".".

Hey Alex, you got very close.

Just check for the : in the completed sentence.

Here is my solution:

let firstName = 'Ian'; let lastName = 'Cahn'; let role = 'developer'; let msg = firstName + " " + lastName + ": " + role;
