Assign an all uppercase version of the id variable to the userName variable.

I found errors in my code all the time.

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

var userName
console.log(id.toLocaleUpperCase());
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
  <title>JavaScript Basics</title>
</head>
<body>
<script src="app.js"></script>

</html>

You use an equal sign instead of console.log for assigning variables

You have to assign it to the variable userName using the = symbol and then do a console.log of that variable
