var id = "23188xtr";
var lastName = "Smith";
var userName
var passphrase = id
console.log (passphrase.toUpperCase());

Treehouse TeacherHi there! I think you're probably doing well because you made it past the first step. In this step we're going to take the id and make it upper case (which you already did) and we're going to take the last name and upper case it as well. Now those two parts are identical. What's missing is the pound sign/hash tag in the center. And we do this by concatenating the two different uppercase parts with a pound sign in the center. Take a look at how I did it and see if it makes sense:
var userName = id.toUpperCase() + "#" + lastName.toUpperCase();

var userName = (id + '#' + lastName).toUpperCase();
