How do I get a final value of "userName is 23188XTRA#SMITH" using string concatenation?

Can't seem to figure this question out.

Below is my code.

var id = "23188xtr"; var lastName = "Smith";

var userName = "23188xtr"; console.log(userName.toUpperCase()); var userName = "id" + # + "lastName"; console.log(userName.toUppercase());

Would appreciate the help. Thanks!

All you have to do is assign the toUpperCase() method on each variable in the userName. Something like this.

var id = "23188xtr";
var lastName = "Smith";

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

Vanessa Yeo - it looks like you are printing out the literal strings "id" and "lastName" instead of the strings the variables id and lastName contain. Take the quotes off the variables and put it around the # then it will print out as desired.

var userName = id + "#" + lastName;
