How do I add the "#" symbol in between the Id and lastName variables?

isn't it +- "#";?

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

var userName = id+lastName.toUpperCase();
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">

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

or you should write the code like this (because the # can't be converted to uppercase):

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