Help with assigning properties?

I am not sure how to add .toUpperCase to the id variable and then to add all of that to var userName

app.js 
var id = "23188xtr";
var lastName = "Smith";
id.toUpperCase();
var userName + id.toUpperCase();
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
  <title>JavaScript Basics</title>
</head>
<body>
<script src="app.js"></script>
</body>
</html>

userName is a new variable so you need to add the string to it like this. After that you concatenate the lastName string as shown below.

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

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