JavaScript Challenge String Concatenation Syntax

I don't know how to apply a property to an object then combine additional strings.

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

var userName = id.toUpperCase() + "#" + lastName;
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
  <title>JavaScript Basics</title>
</head>
<body>
<script src="app.js"></script>
</body>
</html>

You nearly have it you just forgot a second "toUpperCase"

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

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

Thanks. It took a couple tries because every time I added an answer to the second question it invalidated the first answer for some reason. And then suddenly it accepted both the first and second answer even though I didn't change anything. Weirdness...
