Hi Ziv

Firstly, you're repeating yourself here:

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

So, delete the first instance of: lastname.toUpperCase();

Secondly, you're not transforming "id" to upper case. And lastly, be sure to include the "#" required to pass the task.

If you need further help on this i'll be happy to help further.
