adding variables i am having a hard time using methods and adding variables together

var id = "23188xtr"; var lastName = "Smith";

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

This is what i have

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

var userName = id.toUpperCase();
userName += '#'
userName += lastName.toUpperCase;
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE HTML>

The question doesn't want the ID in upper case (If I remember correctly, just the lastName)

and you have forgotten the () after the toUpperCase on the last line.
