Bummer! The `userName` variable is "23188XTR#SMITH" not "23188XTR#SMITH".

Not sure why I'm getting this error?

app.js 
var id = "23188xtr";
var lastName = "Smith";
var userName = id.toUpperCase();
var userName = id.toUpperCase()+ "#" + lastName.toUpperCase();

The problem here is that you're defining your userName twice. I can copy/paste your code and remove one line and it passes. Just erase this line.

var userName = id.toUpperCase();
