Could somebody check my code?

Does someone have an idea why this code is incorrect? How would you solve this challenge?

Thank you!

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

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

Hi there! You're doing great, but you made a tiny omission. Just as your toUpperCase on id needs parentheses, so does your toUpperCase on your lastName.

// you typed
userName += lastName.toUpperCase;

// but you meant to type
userName += lastName.toUpperCase();

Hope this helps! :sparkles:

toUpperCase is a function, thus it requires (); in order to work.

Hi, Kosti Wessman ! I changed your comment to an answer. To be honest, I didn't even see it because it was a comment when I left my answer. Changing this to an answer has the added benefit of marking the question as answered in the forums and also allowing for voting of your answer. Thanks for helping out in the Community! :sparkles:
