Help completing task 2 in step 17

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

app.js 
var id = "23188xtr";
var lastName = "Smith";
console.log(id.toUpperCase());
var userName
index.html

can you try this out and check.

"+" is the string concatenation operator.

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