combining strings

can anyone clarify this below problem to me? Complete the assignment to the userName variable by adding a # symbol followed by an all uppercase version of the lastName variable. In other words, using string concatenation so that the final value of userName is "23188XTR#SMITH".

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

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

Hi Rupesh,

The task asks for a "#" inbetween the id and the username, it also asks for the name "Smith" to be uppercase, like so:

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

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

This outputs the following: "23188XTR#SMITH"

hope this helps!!
