How?

This is what I am suppose to do:

Finally, add a # symbol and lastName in uppercase to the end of the userName string. The final value of userName is "23188XTR#SMITH".

I'm having trouble understanding where to put this information.

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

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>

var userName = id + "#" + lastName

As the others have mentioned, you need to use string concatenation. Concatenation combines the text from one or more strings and returns a new string. Please see below.

var userName = id + "#" + lastName
