9,390 PointsTask 1 is no longer valid???
I am trying to add a # symbol and all upper case var lastName to the var userName, but it says that Task 1 is no longer valid. What am I missing?
var id = "23188xtr";
var lastName = "Smith";
var userName = id.toUpperCase();
username += "#" + lastName.toUpperCase();

231,275 PointsAny syntax error invalidates the entire script and causes the re-validations of previous tasks to fail. In this case it's caused by a reference to an undefined identifier.
On the last line you wrote "username" (with lower-case "n") instead of "userName" (with capital "N").
