Make sure to select userName and not username. Notice the difference? Camel case matters.

// Correct
userName += "#" + lastName.toUpperCase();
// Incorrect
username += "#" + lastName.toUpperCase();

Hello micheleg, you're on the right track

username += "#" + lastName.toUpperCase();

username should be userName.
