Remove the console.log()

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

Your goal here is to add toUpperCase() method on both id and lastName variable. The challenge is not asking you to use console.log(). 

var id = "23188xtr";
var lastName = "Smith";
var userName = id.toUpperCase() + "#" + lastName.toUpperCase();
