Can you tell me where I went wrong?
var id = "23188xtr";
var lastName = "Smith";
var userName
userName = id.toUpperCase();
userName = "#"+ lastname.toUpperCase();

Courses Plus Student 3,771 PointsYou forgot to add id.toUpperCase to the concatenated string and remove the double quote from lastName.toUpperCase. It should look like this...
var userName
userName = id.toUpperCase();
userName = id.toUpperCase() + "#" + lastName.toUpperCase();

var userName;
userName = id.toUpperCase() + "#" + lastName.toUpperCase();
I hope this helps.

16,936 PointsAbsolutely! You could take it a step further if you like to keep it D.R.Y. and simple.
var userName = (id + "#" + lastName).toUpperCase();
