No Sir, The Question is that (Make a Variable that combine both of the values into uppercase ).

So what you have here is three different assignments for the same variable, you assign it first to the id.toUpperCase function and then in the next line the last name is assigned to the same variable and then in the final line both. What you need is one userName var assignment that contains both functions on the same line.
