Description

Previously we have used the code var myName = "your name"; "your name" is called a string literal. It is a string because it is a series of zero or more characters enclosed in single or double quotes.

Instructions

Create two new string variables: myFirstName and myLastName and assign them the values of your first and last name, respectively.

Tests

tests:
  - text: <code>myFirstName</code> should be a string with at least one character in it.
    testString: assert((function(){if(typeof myFirstName !== "undefined" && typeof myFirstName === "string" && myFirstName.length > 0){return true;}else{return false;}})(), '<code>myFirstName</code> should be a string with at least one character in it.');
  - text: <code>myLastName</code> should be a string with at least one character in it.
    testString: assert((function(){if(typeof myLastName !== "undefined" && typeof myLastName === "string" && myLastName.length > 0){return true;}else{return false;}})(), '<code>myLastName</code> should be a string with at least one character in it.');

Challenge Seed

// Example
var firstName = "Alan";
var lastName = "Turing";

// Only change code below this line

After Test

if(typeof myFirstName !== "undefined" && typeof myLastName !== "undefined"){(function(){return myFirstName + ', ' + myLastName;})();}

Solution

var myFirstName = "Alan";
var myLastName = "Turing";
