Finally, add a # symbol and lastName in uppercase to the end of the userName string. The final value of userName is "231

I don't get what I'm doing wrong.

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

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

The issue is the semicolons you've added after the . toUpperCase methods on the line you assigned a value to userName.

In JavaScript the semicolon is used to end the statement. 

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

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