Bummer! The userName variable is "23188XTR#SMITH" not "23188XTR#SMITH".
var id = "23188xtr";
var lastName = "Smith";
var userName = (id.toUpperCase());
userName = (id.toUpperCase()+"#"+lastName.toUpperCase());

4,315 PointsHi Dinesh - you need to use string concatenation to complete the challenge which I think is where you are going wrong - try the code below:
var id = "23188xtr";
var lastName = "Smith";
var userName = id.toUpperCase();
userName += ( "#" + lastName.toUpperCase());
So the challenge asks you to add to the var userName rather than replace the variable. Use the '+=' sign. Hope this helps.

Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 1,082 PointsThanks Sam,
I got the below answer myself
var id = "23188xtr"; var lastName = "Smith";
var userName = (id.toUpperCase() + "#" + lastName.toUpperCase());
