How do I get the symbol in-between?

I cannot figure out why the '#' is not running in the middle

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

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

You've got the right idea, but you don't need parentheses after concatenation.

var id = id + '#'();  // remove () at the end

EDIT - I just noticed one other issue that may prevent it from passing.

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

var userName = id.toUpperCase(); // userName is now = 23188XTR
var id = id + '#'(); // id is now = 23188xtr# - note that this is not all caps
var lastName = lastName.toUpperCase(); // lastName is now = SMITH
var userName = id + lastName; // userName is now = 23188xtr#SMITH - note that this is not all caps
