This is a lesson in string LITERALS versus string VARIABLES.

A string literal is given a defined value. Such as this example used in the challenge…

Var firstName = “Alan”;

A string variable is assigned a variable. Such as this.

Var myFirstName= firstName;

Notice we are not using quotes around the assignment firstName.
