Hi Adam,

In Your app.js you are actually changed the id to uppercase and stored it into the same id variable. If you want to assign the uppercase values to user name you'll do like this

var username = id.toUpperCase();

convert id variable into uppercase and assign it to user name.

Hope this helps :)

I tried but it just said: Bummer! The userName variable is "undefined" not "23188XTR#SMITH".
