The challenge asks you to assign an all uppercase id to userName.
So you need to use the toUpperCase() method on the variable id.
Like so:
var userName = id.toUpperCase();

Treehouse TeacherThe problem is in this line:
var userName = 'id.toUppercase() + userName.toUppercase() ' ;
You shouldn't put quote marks around id.toUppercase() + userName.toUppercase()
Also you don't need to re-declare the variable -- var userName -- in the last line.

10,989 PointsThanks for the help, but i just retyped the code without the quote marks and i didn't re-declare the var userName line and it still did not work.

Treehouse TeacherSorry. Didn't read this closely enough: Hugo Paz has the answer!
