JavaScript Basics: Storing & Tracking Information with Variables--Using String Methods

I can't get the correct answer to question 2 on this Code Challenge.

I have the following code: var userName = id.toUpperCase() + "#" + lastName.toUpperCase();

However, it isn't working for me.

Your code is fine, so something else must be the problem

Erwin Meesters:

Thanks. However, I'm getting an error message stating that the id.toUpperCase(); (which is correct for Question 1) doesn't function when I write this code. I don't think the += shorthand code is appropriate for Question 2 answer.

If the error message is an error itself, I'll contact the instructor & ask him if this is a Treehouse coding bug that he needs to exterminated. That way no other Code Oregon student will get this same error message.
