Error in the challenge JS Using String Method

in this challenge exists an error, the first task is:

Assign an all uppercase version of the id variable to the userName variable var id = "23188xtr"; var lastName = "Smith";

var userName

i have writen var userName = ( id + lastName).toUpperCase (); and it worked or var userName = ("id" + "lastName".toUpperCase()); and worked too.

the next task that was required was to Complete the assignment to the userName variable by adding a # symbol followed by an all uppercase version of the lastNamevariable. In other words, using string concatenation so that the final value of userName is "23188XTR#SMITH".

this is the correct code that i tested in the console and worked

(id + '#' + lastname).toUpperCase(); but in the challenge it didn’t work

i had to change the code to:

var id = "23188xtr"; var lastName = "Smith".toUpperCase();

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

hi i've tested the challenge again. your code is correct and should be working, and indeed works in the console. the point here is that it does not say that is wrong, its just say that task 1 no longer passing, which means that it does not want to change the code in the fisrt task which is this var userName = id.toUpperCase(); so, in the next task you can do simply something like this var userName = id.toUpperCase() + "#" + lastName.toUpperCase(); to keep the first task untouched.
