Do you see any errors in the console? It might help to add your solution piece by piece and watch for errors to pop up in the console.

#3

Take another look at where and what your quotes are “quoting”. Look at var ourStr and see how your answer differs.

#4

Also remember that they want you to build myStr, which you are not doing. sentence is not contemplated by the tests

#5

can you explain better please, trying to figure it out to no avail

#6

None of the instructions say to assign any value to a variable named sentence.

You have the first part of the instructions correct. You have assigned your name to the variable myName. Now you just need to assign a string to myStr which starts with “My name is " and ends with " and I am well!”. In the middle of this string should be your name. Since your name is already assigned to the variable myName, you should use it when constructing the string.

When concatenating a variable to another string you need to place the + operator between the variable and the string. See below for an example:

var stringVariable = "This is a part of a ";
var newString = stringVariable + "concatenated string.";
