to.UpperCase .......question I cant answer

this is the challenge.......

Use the JavaScript .toUpperCase( ) string method to assign an all uppercase version of the id variable to the userName variable.

I dont know how to answer this challenge. Is there anyone that can help with this? If I understand correctly, i'm being asked to combine one to the other and the one needs to be in upper case........I've tried many different ways and just cant get it.

app.js 
var id = "23188xtr";
var lastName = "Smith";

var userName
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
  <title>JavaScript Basics</title>
</head>
<body>
<script src="app.js"></script>
</body>
</html>

Try this:

var id = "23188xtr";
var lastName = "Smith";

var userName = id.toUpperCase();
