I am a beginner in this, and I am confused

I am a very basic beginner in JS and I just started 2 days ago and I am so, so, so confused. It keeps saying this when I add my code, "It looks like Task 1 is no longer passing" What is wrong!? Here's my code: I NEED HELP

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

var userName = id.toUpperCase() + "#" + lastName
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE HTML>

  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">

Very simple solution. You just forgot to uppercase the lastName variable. Should be:

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