I dont understand how this is supposed to work. I tried var username = id+lastName.toUpperCase(); I have tried username = id#lastName.toUpperCase(); and several other ways.
var id = "23188xtr";
var lastName = "#Smith";
var userName = id+lastName.toUpperCase();

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

Timothy is right, but also remember to put a "#" symbol between the converted id and the converted last name. Don't change the last name string itself, just join that in using concatenation with the other parts

Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 1,239 PointsThank you guys I ended up figuring it out. I thought the # was a command. But I realized it was part of the string. Took me a nice little break from the computer to figure it out.
