Hi there,

You got that in slightly the wrong order. The hash comes between id and lastName. So, add "#" with += on to userName first. Then do the same with the upper case version of lastName. You end up with:

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

I hope that helps,

Steve.
