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

app.js 
var id = "23188xtr";
var lastName = "Smith";

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

Change

var id = "23188xtr";
var lastName = "Smith";

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

into

var id = "23188xtr";
var lastName = "Smith";

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

The # needs to be treated as a separate string. Currently you have it attached to last.toUpperCase().You are also incorrectly re-declaring the userName variable.

Try this: 

var id = "23188xtr";
var lastName = "Smith";

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