Follow the instructions word for word...it seems tricky but it will make sense with some practice! (Basically just add a # and the lastName in uppercase to the end of the previous username to get the new username.)

last line should be:

userName = userName + '#' + lastName.toUpperCase();

Good luck!

Your first 3 lines of code are correct, cut and paste the line of code I gave in the first answer and put it as the last line of code. It works. I just redid the challenge and it passes.
