256 PointsWhat does it mean when it says task 1 is no longer passing? I don't understand this question.
None
var id = "23188xtr";
var lastName = "Smith";
var userName = id.toUpperCase();
id += "#" + "smith";
var userName = lastName.toUpperCase();

22,638 PointsHey Emily! You're super close. You've already declared username once so don't declare it again. Your third line is perfectly correct.
var username = id.toUpperCase();
But, it's messing up when you redeclare the username on line 5. At any rate, you can do task 2 a couple of different ways. You have all of the elements of a correct answer. I don't want to give it away. But, if you properly mix the 4th and 5th line of code you've got it.
To at least give you a hint:
var userName = id.toUpperCase();
userName += 'something goes here' + somethingGoesHere.method();
And good luck. You're going to have multiple points in which you want to flip your table, throw you computer, or bang your head. Ask for help or take a walk, but don't give up. Good luck and hope this helped!

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