Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 1,800 Pointsunknown hash character?
error reads "userName value is '23188XTRSMITH', not '23188XTR#SMITH' ....where did the extra pound/hash sign come from?
var id = "23188xtr";
var lastName = "Smith";
var userName = id + lastName;
userName = userName.toUpperCase ( )
///variable is "23188xtrSmith" not "23188XTR#SMITH"

leave out lastName and try it out.
id + lastName is not necessary, this line is not necessary.

The problem here is that you're defining your userName twice. I can copy/paste your code and remove one line and it passes. Just erase this line.

Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 1,800 Pointsyeah, I guess somehow I glitched the website to require the answer for task two during task 1, it seems to have been fixed now.
