JavaScript JavaScript Basics (Retired) Storing and Tracking Information with Variables Using String Methods

My attempt at combining strings isn't working?

I've gone over the previous video and still unsure where I'm going wrong?

Any assistance would be appreciated.

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

var userName = id.toUpperCase();
userName += "#";
userName += lastName;
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
  <title>JavaScript Basics</title>
</head>
<body>
<script src="app.js"></script>
</body>
</html>

Hi Ewan,

The challenge looks to require the lastName variable in uppercase too:

Complete the assignment to the userName variable by adding a # symbol followed by an all uppercase version of the lastName variable. In other words, using string concatenation so that the final value of userName is "23188XTR#SMITH".

Hope that helps.
