' Finally, add a # symbol and lastName in uppercase to the end of the userName string. The final value of userName is "23188XTR#SMITH". '
So in the challenge I tried using the code below, and it is not passing. Am I using this technique improperly?
var id = "23188xtr";
var lastName = "Smith";
var userName = id.toUpperCase();
var userName += '#' + lastName.toUpperCase();
