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

You'll need to use the toUpperCase() method on the id variable and store the result in the userName variable.
var userName = id.toUpperCase();
Hope that helps. Keep Coding!

332 PointsThank you! I couldn't find the part of the video that said toUppercase, and didn't want to assume.
