10,124 PointsTrying to make a compound variable. When I add what I thought was the answer. It isn't &/or the 1st task stops working.
I'm having some troubles with this code challenge. Going to rewatch the video 3rd time :-( any help would be apprecated!
var id = "23188xtr";
var lastName = "Smith";
var userName = id.toUpperCase();
userName += id + "#" + username;

10,124 PointsYes, Thanks again. Love this place!
Amy McKnight
10,124 PointsI found it!
I was inserting a
;
after the first toUpperCase !
Wow. Thanks you all for bearing with me.
All the best

Cheers and Keep Coding!

11,368 PointsHi Amy! You got the first task right! Great :D!
In the second one, you are supposed to keep concatenating variables in the same way but you must set the lastName to upper case and add a hashtag before... but you are concatenating "username" I think that's what's causing the error ...also you can concatenate everything in only one sentence like this:
var username = id.toUpperCase() + "#" + lastName.toUpperCase();
Hope you find this answer useful!
Cheers and Keep Coding!

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

10,124 PointsWanted to celebrate but it isn't taking it.
I added this code:
var username = id.toUpperCase() + "#" + lastName.toUpperCase();
but I'm still getting this message:
"Bummer! Did you add the '#' character between id and lastName?"
YES, I did :-(
is it a bug or me?
Colin Marshall
32,861 PointsThe entire answer to step 2 should look like this:
var id = "23188xtr";
var lastName = "Smith";
var userName = id.toUpperCase() + "#" + lastName.toUpperCase();
Julian Aramburu
11,368 PointsDid you write username in your code as well? Because it should be "userName" with uppercase N.
Amy McKnight
10,124 Pointsyes
<code>var userName = id.toUpperCase(); + "#" + userName.toUpperCase();</code>
Julian Aramburu
11,368 Pointsoh i spotted the typo! Delete the semicolon from the first toUpperCase call and it should work properly :)!
