It isn't completely clear what Variables -> CaSeS wants me to do. It seems like it's asking for:

    myFullName = "Thomas Edison"
But it's reminding me of making sure my variable names are correct, so maybe:

    myFullName = myName lastName
That doesn't work.

Because I'm a programmer, I know that the + operator concatenates strings, but I don't think everyone will think consider that, and it hasn't been mentioned at that point.

It was looking for var myFullName = "First Last";

Why does the hint suggest making sure case is right then? I can't imagine a mistake someone would make where that would be a helpful hint.

Dunno, I didn't write it. I actually refreshed once because I thought there was an error. I then realized it was my fault after looking at the previous question.

Looking into fixing this tomorrow as soon as we get the load under control. Thanks!
