Using String Method Objective - Task 2 of 2. I'm not too sure what I'm doing wrong. How do I complete this objective?

I'm stuck on this objective and have no clue what I'm doing wrong. Could someone help me? Thanks!

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

var userName = "id"+"#"+"lastName";
userName.toUpperCase();
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE HTML>

You were close, but the correct way to do this specific challenge is to define everything within the userName variable like this;

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