It looks like you've already passed task 1.

I'm guessing you're working on task 2: Finally, add a # symbol and lastName in uppercase to the end of the userName string. The final value of userName is "23188XTR#SMITH".

Remember that you can build strings up using concatenation, which uses the plus sign {"+") operator to indicate where strings are to be joined. You can join literal strings and strings the are returned from functions in any combination you like. Here, you already have a string being returned from a function, so you would join it with symbol and then another string from a function to build up what the challenge is asking for.
