aren't I just supposed to re-write the msg with role.toUpperCase(); ?Having a problem with answering this one.

I've tried it every way I can think to but it keeps sending me cannot read property "1" of null.

app.js 
let firstName = 'Jason';
let lastName = 'Nutt';
let role = 'developer';
let msg = firstName + ' ' + lastName + ':' + ' ' + role;
let msg =  firstName + ' ' + lastName + ':' + ' ' + role.toUpperCase();

No, should be the same statement .

let firstName = 'John';
let lastName = 'Doe';
let role = 'developer';

let msg = `${firstName} ${lastName}: ${role.toUpperCase()}`;

That helped me to complete that entire course "working with strings". JavaScript is difficult. Thanks again. I hope I can help someone soon.
