I'm not sure how I go about adding on more to this code without it making my first answer incorrect

I've tried multiple different ways and tried it in the Workspace as well and I can't seem to get it to work there either

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

var userName = id.toUpperCase();
userName += "#"
userName += lastName.toUppeCase();
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE HTML>

<head>
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">

<body>
<script src="app.js"></script>

</html>

Ok, I got it to work...

what works is:

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

but I'm not sure why that works but what I had written down here doesn't work...
