Javascript Basics - Using string methods

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

The final value of userName needs to be "231XTR#SMITH" with all the letters in capslock. But I keep getting a bummer asking if i call "toUppercase()" to "lastName". What is wrong with my code? Thank you for helping.

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

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

Hi Iris,

For me, this worked:

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

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