JavaScript JavaScript Basics (Retired) Storing and Tracking Information with Variables Using String Methods

Add a # symbol and lastName in uppercase to the end of the userName string. Final value of userName is "23188XTR#SMITH".

Directions are not clear and I'm simply lost on how to complete this task. Everything I've tried has resulted in error.

app.js
var id = "23188xtr";
var lastName = "Smith";

var userName = id.toUpperCase();
var userName =id.toUpperCase()+ '#' + lastName;

you are close. since you have already upped id and saved it as userName, no need to do it again, just use userName. then, you aren't modifying lastName like it wants.
