what ?

Complete the assignment to the userName variable by adding a # symbol followed by an all uppercase version of the lastName variable. In other words, using string concatenation so that the final value of userName is "23188XTR#SMITH".

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

Hi Tobias, You are doing great! You just need to add userName, # and lastName variable by plus sign. Both variables should be converted to upper case like this. (Edited code since I found that the question was for task 2)

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

Hope this helps :)

To get the full result, you'd need something like this:

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

Hope that helps!
