--description--

Sometimes you will need to build a string. By using the concatenation operator (+), you can insert one or more variables into a string you're building.

Example:

js
const ourName = "freeCodeCamp";
const ourStr = "Hello, our name is " + ourName + ", how are you?";

ourStr would have a value of the string Hello, our name is freeCodeCamp, how are you?.

--instructions--

Set myName to a string equal to your name and build myStr with myName between the strings My name is and and I am well!

--hints--

myName should be set to a string at least 3 characters long.

js
assert(typeof myName !== 'undefined' && myName.length > 2);

You should use two + operators to build myStr with myName inside it.

js
assert(__helpers.removeJSComments(code).match(/["']\s*\+\s*myName\s*\+\s*["']/g).length > 0);

--seed--

--seed-contents--

js
// Only change code below this line
const myName = "";
const myStr = "";

--solutions--

js
const myName = "Bob";
const myStr = "My name is " + myName + " and I am well!";
