Program detects erroneous hash tag but i can't see it

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

This is code as i have written it, to capitalize 23188xtrSmith. Somehow, it's reading 23188XTR#SMITH. i can't find in this code where it would have picked up a hash tag. Am i missing something? Thanks...

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

Hi Arno, is that all you have in your app.js file? Where are you calling the userName variable?
