Struggling with this

Really struggling to answer this. Where am i going wrong? or right? Complete the assignment to the userName variable by adding a # symbol followed by an all uppercase version of the lastName variable. In other words, using string concatenation so that the final value of userName is "23188XTR#SMITH".

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

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

Hi,

You have one semicolon too much there. Here is the corrected one

var id = "23188xtr";
var lastName = "Smith";

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