id is an object string, therefor you can access all the methods and properties of this object by using . notation and the name of the method, like id.toUpperCase(), and in this case we are putting the result back to the variable userName,

and for the second step of this challenge we concatenate userName variable with # sign and lastName.toUpperCase() again. look at the code above
