Adding .toUpperCase to a string

I complete task one, which asks me to make the id all uppercase. Then the next question asks me to add a # followed by lastname, all in upper case. It then tells me that task 1 is no longer passing

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

var userName = id.toUpperCase() + "#" + lastname.toUpperCase();

you have a typo ! You wrote lastname, and the variable name is lastName ;)
