I'm stuck on a question that I'm not sure of the answer.

The console keeps telling me that my answer matches the goal, but still isn't correct. I just want to move on is anyone there?

app.js 
var id = "23188xtr";
var lastName = "Smith";

var userName = id.toUpperCase();
userName+'#'+lastName.toUpperCase();
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">

<body>
<script src="app.js"></script>

</html>

Hi Kiem,

The error message that code gives me is 'Bummer! The userName variable is "23188XTR" not "23188XTR#SMITH".' The reason for this is that the variable wasn't updated with our new value.

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

Hope this helps!
