Thank you! I couldn't find the part of the video that said toUppercase, and didn't want to assume.

Robert,

In this case, I suggest you rewatch the video that came prior to this code challenge, and make sure you pay close attention. In it, they teach you about a method called ".toUpperCase()" that you will want to use. Said video will provide all the information and examples you'll need to complete the challenge that you're stuck on!
