Finally, add a # symbol and lastName in uppercase to the end of the userName string. The final value of userName is "231

I've reviewed the forum but I am missing something.

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

Hi, Nina Maxberry!

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

On the last line, you'll want change the value of userName to the new string, rather than trying to make a new variable with "var".

toUpperClass() should be toUpperCase() in this line:

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