When I add "#" + lastName it says that Task 1 is no longer complete

Didn't change any code from task 1 but it suddenly says that it doesn't work

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

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

Hi,

You seems to have forgotten to put a semi-column at the end of the statement which declare the variable userName. It worked before because it was your last line of code but know the program will read your 2 last lines as a single statement without the semi-column.

Hi Ben Holmes,

What Maxime said is true. Plus: you're required to add toUpperCase() to lastName (just as you've already done for id).

Here's what the output should be like:

The final value of userName is "23188XTR#SMITH".

Oh OK, thanks. I still don't get why it said that Task 1 no longer passed, but it worked when I fixed all of that.
