Finally, add a # symbol and lastName in uppercase to the end of the userName string. The final value of userName

I cant seem to figure out how to do this and it always tells me that the first question is wrong now after i pass it.

app.js
var id = "23188xtr";
var lastName = "Smith";
var userName = id.toUpperCase();
var userName = LastName.toUpperCase();

Hi Rigo, the task 2 of the challenge requests that you add a # symbol and 'lastName' in uppercase to the END of the userName string which will make the final value of 'userName' to be '23188XTR#SMITH'. All you need do is concat a string by adding the '#' symbol and the 'latName' variable (in UPPERCASE) to the end of the 'userName' variable. The mistake you made was to re-assign a different value for the 'userName' variable instead of just concatenating it as a string.

var id = "23188xtr";
var lastName = "Smith";
var userName = id.toUpperCase() + '#' + lastName.toUpperCase();
