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

Treehouse Moderator 91,253 PointsHi Julia, It looks like you're trying to add a new value by referring the variable again rather than concatenating the string.
So to add strings together into one variable you need to use the concatenation operator which is +.
var id = "23188xtr";
var lastName = "Smith";
var userName = id.toUpperCase() + "#" + lastName.toUpperCase();
