Convert a string to uppercase letters

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

The question asks me to convert the ID and name to all uppercase letters.

var userName = lastName + id.toUpperCase(); // This is what I typed in, but it keeps telling me it's not the answer.

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

var userName = lastName + id.toUpperCase();

Are you on task 1 or 2? If I remember correctly, task 1 is just id, so "lastName" shouldn't be there.

And if it's task2, the id needs to come before the last name, the last name also needs to be upper-cased, and there should be a "#" symbol in between them.
