Need help with code

Not sure how to complete this:

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

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

var userName ="23188XTR#SMITH";

console.log(id.toUpperCase());
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>

Don't use the "final value" as a literal string.

They only tell you what it is so you know what they are expecting. But you should create it using the other variables and methods along with concatenation.

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

var userName =id +'#'+lastName;

console.log (userName.toUpperCase());

This should work Jessica. :)

Almost.

You have the right idea, but you still need to apply the case conversion functions as part of the assignment. And you don't need to use console.log.
