Using string methods challenge

Hey all, I'm unable to get my head around this part of the challenge. Please can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks

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

var userName = id.toUpperCase();
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">

<body>
<script src="app.js"></script>
</body>
</html>

The task is task 2 Finally, add a # symbol and lastName in uppercase to the end of the userName string. The final value of userName is "23188XTR#SMITH".

Hey Matthew,

You're so close! You just need to use string concatenation to add the # and then again to add the uppercase version of the lastName variable:

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