code challenge problem

I am having trouble with this code challenge.

"Complete the assignment to the userName variable by adding a # symbol followed by an all uppercase version of the lastName variable. In other words, using string concatenation so that the final value of userName is "23188XTR#SMITH"."

app.js 
var id = "23188xtr";
var lastName = "Smith";
var userName = id.toUpperCase();
var username = id + "#" + lastName.toUpperCase();

You don't need to create a new variable named 'username'. It's asking you to concatenate the 'userName' variable. So your code should look like this:

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