Misleading...

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". Bummer! The userName variable is "23188XTR" not "23188XTR#SMITH".

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

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

Hi Adam,

To add the "#SMITH" on the userName, you should have used += instead of + only.

like this:

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

var userName = id.toUpperCase();

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

This is how you updated or add more data on your variable.

Hope this help!

Cheers!
