Need help with practice

In this specific practice it ask me to use the .toUpperCase command to make the variable ID show up in Upper Case in the variable userName. However I'm not doing any progress making that happen so far. Also I'm having issue combining the Variable ID and the variable lastName so they appear together on the Variable userName. Thx for your time

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

var userName
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 Rafael, problem is that you are not assigning any value to variable userName. You have to call function toUpperCase() on var id and the result of this assign to var userName. This is the code that passes the challenge:

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

var userName = id.toUpperCase();
