658 PointsHow do I add the #? I have this: var userName = id.toUpperCase(); + '#' + lastName.toUpperCase();
What's the solution?
var id = "23188xtr";
var lastName = "Smith";
var userName = id.toUpperCase(); + '#' + lastName.toUpperCase();

You have a semicolon in that last line. It's not supposed to be there... probably a typo.
It should be:
var userName = id.toUpperCase() + '#' + lastName.toUpperCase();

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