Javascript Basics: .toUpperCase(); Challenge

Challenge Question: Use the JavaScript .toUpperCase( ) string method to assign an all uppercase version of the id variable to the userName variable.

The response I'm getting is "213188XTR#SMITH" when there shouldn't be a '#' symbol there. I'm totally blanking and I don't know what I'm missing.

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

var userName = id + lastName .toUpperCase();
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE HTML>

<head>
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">

Hi! I did the challenge for you so you can review your answer with mine, also, the challenge needs that you add the '#' in the answer :):

  • Challenge Task 1 of 2

Use the JavaScript .toUpperCase( ) string method to assign an all uppercase version of the id variable to the userName variable.

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

var userName = id.toUpperCase();
  • Challenge Task 2 of 2

Finally, add a # symbol and lastName in uppercase to the end of the userName string. The final value of userName is "23188XTR#SMITH".

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

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