13,116 PointstoUpperCase() is a function so it does not suppose to be in quotes, the same with id because it is a variable
so that specific point suppose to be written as
var userName = id.toUpperCase()
it has to do with syntax.

6,239 Pointshow about if I combine to variables using #
Gloria Dwomoh
13,116 PointsCan you give an example of that?
Agnes Caringal
6,239 PointsComplete 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 the userName is "23188xtr#smith"
this is my answer:
var UserName = id.toUppercase() "#" lastName.toUpperCase();

Gloria Dwomoh
13,116 PointsYou need to use the + sign to concatenate.
Agnes Caringal
6,239 Points- sign not the # sign
