### Tell us what’s happening:

Create a variable full\_name by concatenating first\_name and last\_name. Then print full\_name.

My code:

full\_name = “first\_name” + “last\_name”  
print(full\_name)

### Your code so far

```py
first_name = 'John'
last_name = 'Doe'

# User Editable Region

print(first_name)
print(last_name)
full_name = "first-name" + "last_name"
print(full_name)

# User Editable Region

```

You should concatenate variables not strings.
