4,238 PointsJavaScript Basics Using String Method Challenge
The instructions say: Finally, add a # symbol and lastName in uppercase to the end of the userName string. The final value of userName is "23188XTR#SMITH".
I've rewatched the videos and I'm not understanding how to finish the string in this challenge.
var id = "23188xtr";
var lastName = "Smith";
var userName = id.toUpperCase() += '#SMITH';

20,885 Pointsvar id = "23188xtr";
var lastName = "Smith";
var userName = id.toUpperCase() += '#SMITH'; //almost there, try use the variable lastName instead,
//of, you hardcoding the lastname, you do not need a = operator in the middle, just after the '+'
//var userName = id.toUpperCase() + ? + ?

var userName = id.toUpperCase() + '#' + 'lastName';
It still did not accept this code. I also tried it with SMITH because to me, that's what it looks like the instructions are asking for.
