Hi Charles,

Your final answer should look like this.

var id = "23188xtr";
var lastName = "Smith";

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

Hope this help.

Or if you wanted to use your code it should look like this

var id = "23188xtr";
var lastName = "Smith";
var lastName = lastName.toUpperCase();
var userName = id.toUpperCase();

userName += "#"+lastName;
alert(userName);
