Unable to solve the problem

My final answer is var userName = id.toUpperCase() + "#" + lastName.toUpperCase(); however it keeps saying that task 1 is not passing. What mistake am I making here?

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

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

Hi,

You need to concatenate strings in a single line, that's how you will pass this challenge.

Correct Solution:

var id = "23188xtr";
var lastName = "Smith";
var userName = id.toUpperCase() + "#" + lastName.toUpperCase();

I hope it answers your question, Happy Coding :)
