A bug, where is the problem, how to solve ?

Finally, add a # symbol and lastName in uppercase to the end of the userName string. The final value of userName is "23188XTR#SMITH".

var id = "23188xtr"; var lastName = "Smith"; var usarName = id + "#" + lastName; var usarName = usarName.toUpperCase(); console.log(usarName);

app.js 
var id = "23188xtr";

Hi. You have a typo, which might be one of the reasons why you're not passing the challenge. Should be "userName" not "usarName".

You should only use 'var' once, when you are creating the variable. From then, you should only use the variable's name. You should pass the task using the following code: 

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

The task didn't ask you yo display the result in the console, so adding it, while right, won't help you pass.

Hope this helps. Good luck coding!
