844 PointsI can't figure out this challenge - Javascript basics - Using string methods. (15th tutorial) The second objective.
If anyone could help me figure it out and kind of explain it that would be nice!
var id = "23188xtr";
var lastName = "Smith";
var userName = id.toUpperCase();

33,990 PointsHi Sjoerd, you've got the first part right which is awesome :) now what you need to do is concatenate a "#" sign and convert the lastName variable to uppercase and concatenate that too!! To concatenate we use the "+" sign, like so:
var userName = id.toUpperCase() + "#" + lastName.toUpperCase();
This gives you "23188XTR#SMITH"
Hope that helps!!

844 PointsAha, Thank you. I was probably overthinking on this one because it makes a lot of sense the way you wrote it!
Thank you!
