30,185 PointsStuck on challenge task 2, "using string methods," in JavaScript Basics.
I'm stuck on this challenge, any help will be greatly appreciated:
Complete the assignment to the username variable by adding the # symbol followed by an all uppercase version of the lastName variable, using sting concatenation so the final value of username if 23188XTR#SMITH.
This is what I have, I'm getting the error message that the xtr part is still in lower case:
var id = "23188xtr"; var lastName = "Smith";
var userName = id.toUpperCase(); userName = id + '#'; userName += lastName.toUpperCase();
var id = "23188xtr";
var lastName = "Smith";
var userName = id.toUpperCase();
userName = id + '#';
userName += lastName.toUpperCase();

23,118 Pointsyou are really close on this one, but I would suggest you concatenate everything into one variable. So the variable userName should have everything on one line. No need to add more steps.
